Empower Every Achievement | Support Every Step
Please note: Current Moving & Handling Training is essential for this role

Are you a compassionate, committed support professional with experience working with learners with profound and multiple learning disabilities (PMLD) or severe learning disabilities (SLD)? Are you ready to make a genuine impact in a specialist setting where no two days are the same?

We’re proud to be working with a warm, welcoming Special School in Sheffield that provides exceptional education and care for secondary and post-16 students with complex needs. The school is seeking a skilled SEND Teaching Assistant to join their outstanding team.

About the School:

This specialist provision is dedicated to students with PMLD and SLD, offering a holistic, highly personalised approach to learning. Staff work collaboratively across disciplines, creating a nurturing environment where every student is supported to achieve independence, confidence, and joy in their learning journey.

The Role:

As a Specialist Teaching Assistant, you will:

  • Deliver tailored support to students with complex physical, cognitive, and sensory needs


  • Support the delivery of individualised, multi-sensory learning programmes


  • Work closely with teaching staff, therapists, and external professionals


  • Assist with personal care, communication support, feeding, and mobility


  • Promote social interaction, life skills, and emotional well-being


  • Contribute to a safe, inclusive classroom that promotes dignity and respect


  • Build meaningful, trusting relationships with students and their families

    ✅ Experience supporting students with PMLD or SLD, ideally in a special school or SEND provision
    ✅ A confident, calm, and compassionate approach
    ✅ The ability to work collaboratively with a wide range of professionals and families
    ✅ A proactive mindset and a commitment to inclusive practice
    ✅ Strong understanding of safeguarding and professional boundaries
    ✅ In-date Moving and Handling training – this is essential for this role

    What You’ll Gain:

    • The opportunity to make a real difference in the lives of exceptional young people


    • Supportive school leadership and a dedicated, inclusive team


    • Ongoing CPD and access to specialist training


    • A role where no two days are the same – and every achievement matters
