Remedy Education is excited to offer an opportunity to join a specialist secondary SEN school in Greenwich, supporting students aged 11-19 with profound and multiple learning difficulties (PMLD) and complex medical or behavioural needs.

Your role will include:

• Supporting with a sensory-based, personalised curriculum

• Helping students engage in creative and therapeutic activities like music, art, and hydrotherapy

• Assisting with communication using tools like PECS, Makaton, and AAC

• Encouraging social interaction, emotional regulation, and independent skills

• Providing personal care, feeding, and support with transitions throughout the day

• Working alongside therapists, teachers, and other specialists as part of a multi-disciplinary team

• Being a consistent, calm and grounding presence for young people with high support needs

• Be calm, patient, and emotionally grounded

• Build trust and relationships with students over time

• Be resilient and reflective, able to manage big emotions and unexpected moments

• Work well in a team and follow guidance

• Be willing to support personal care needs in a respectful and professional way

• Competitive pay: £110 - £115 per day

• Full training and ongoing CPD

• Opportunities for long-term roles, permanent contracts, or further training

• A supportive consultant (speak to Scott!) who understands the SEN sector

• Pathways into teaching or therapy-related careers
