Hours: 08:45 – 15:45 (Monday to Friday)

Contract: Full-Time / Permanent

Salary: £150-£220 Per day

The Teaching Role: Impact Beyond the Classroom

Are you a teacher who measures progress in milestones rather than just metrics? Our Integrated Resource Base (IRB) is looking for compassionate, resilient, and creative Teachers to join our PMLD department.

In this role, you won’t just be following a curriculum; you will be creating a world of sensory exploration, communication breakthroughs, and physical well-being for students with complex needs.

Why Join Us?

• True Work-Life Balance: Our 15:45 finish allows you to reclaim your afternoons.

• Small Class Sizes: Work with small groups supported by a high ratio of specialist Teaching Assistants.

• Collaborative Environment: You’ll work alongside Physio, Occupational, and Speech & Language therapists daily.

• Purpose-Driven Work: Every small win in a PMLD setting is a life-changing victory.

What You’ll Bring

• Qualified Teacher Status (QTS): Required.

• PMLD Expertise: Experience with sensory curricula, hoist training, or PECS/Makaton is a huge plus (but we also value a willingness to learn!).

• Adaptability: The ability to pivot your lesson plan based on a student’s medical or emotional needs.

• Empathy: A deep-seated belief that every child, regardless of their complexity, deserves an enriched and joyful education.

Key Responsibilities

1. Designing and delivering highly personalized sensory-based learning.

2. Leading a team of TAs to ensure personal care and medical protocols are met with dignity.

3. Liaising with parents and external healthcare professionals to provide holistic support.
