Supply Desk is delighted to be working in partnership with a welcoming specialist SEN school in Hemel Hempstead, seeking a compassionate and dedicated PMLD Teacher to join their team from September.

This rewarding opportunity involves teaching pupils with Profound and Multiple Learning Difficulties (PMLD), alongside pupils with Autism (ASC/ASD), Severe Learning Difficulties (SLD), complex medical needs and physical disabilities. Every learner follows a highly personalised curriculum designed to develop communication, independence, sensory engagement and life skills.

This is an ideal opportunity for a teacher who believes that success is measured through meaningful progress, no matter how small, and who is passionate about providing every child with the opportunity to thrive.

As a PMLD Teacher, you will:

  • Plan and deliver highly personalised, sensory-based lessons tailored to each pupil's EHCP.

  • Support pupils with PMLD, Autism, SLD and complex medical or physical needs.

  • Create a safe, nurturing and stimulating learning environment.

  • Use sensory learning approaches, intensive interaction, visual communication and assistive technology to engage pupils.

  • Work closely with teaching assistants, therapists, healthcare professionals and families.

  • Promote communication, independence, emotional wellbeing and life skills.

  • Monitor and celebrate individual progress through meaningful outcomes.

  • Support pupils with personal care where required, alongside experienced support staff.

We're looking for someone who:

  • Holds Qualified Teacher Status (QTS).

  • Has experience working within a specialist SEN or PMLD setting, or a strong interest in developing within this area.

  • Has knowledge of Autism (ASC/ASD), PMLD, SLD and complex learning needs.

  • Is patient, caring and resilient with a child-centred approach.

  • Can adapt teaching to meet a wide range of physical, sensory and communication needs.

  • Works well as part of a multidisciplinary team.

  • Is committed to delivering outstanding outcomes for pupils with additional needs.

✨ Specialist PMLD provision with excellent facilities and sensory spaces.
✨ Small class sizes with outstanding staff-to-pupil ratios.
✨ Supportive and experienced leadership team.
✨ Close collaboration with speech and language therapists, physiotherapists and occupational therapists.
✨ Ongoing CPD and specialist SEND training.
✨ A welcoming school community where every achievement is celebrated.
Paid to Scale (MPS/UPS + SEN Allowance where applicable).

  • Competitive Paid to Scale salary.

  • Long-term opportunity with potential for a permanent contract.

  • Dedicated consultant support throughout your placement.

  • Access to SEND-focused CPD and training.

  • Pension contributions.

  • Refer-a-friend bonus scheme.

If you're passionate about making a genuine difference in the lives of pupils with Profound and Multiple Learning Difficulties, we'd love to hear from you.
