Job description

SEND Teaching Assistants – Worcestershire & Worcester

SEND Teaching Assistants – Worcestershire & Worcester

PK Education is now supporting SEND schools across Worcestershire and Worcester, and we’re looking for passionate and patient SEND Teaching Assistants who are ready to make a real difference in the lives of children and young people with additional needs.

With over 20 years of experience, we’re not new to this. PK Education was the first national agency to earn the REC Audited Education Status, and we remain independently owned by Paul and Karl — two people who believe in doing things the right way, not the fast way.

As we expand into this region, we’re committed to:

• Paying our SEND staff fairly, with rates that reflect the impact you make, and
• Offering schools an affordable, values-led alternative to traditional supply models

We are currently recruiting SEND TAs for day-to-day, long-term and permanent opportunities. Roles may be in specialist settings or mainstream schools with SEND units.

What we’re looking for:

• Experience supporting learners with SEND (e.g., ASC, ADHD, SEMH, MLD, SLD, PMLD)
• A calm, consistent and compassionate approach to behaviour
• Ability to build trust and routines with learners who need additional care and attention
• Experience with PECS, Makaton, sensory learning or Team Teach is desirable but not essential
• A DBS on the Update Service or willingness to apply for one

What’s in it for you?

• Pay from £105 to £139 per day, depending on the needs of the school and your experience
• Ongoing work that matches your skills, values and availability
• Access to schools and SEND provisions where you can genuinely change lives
• Support from a friendly, local team that listens and advocates for you
• A chance to be part of a new chapter in Worcestershire — and make your mark

At PK Education, we know how important SEND support staff are — that’s why we treat you with the respect you deserve and never try to squeeze you into roles that don’t fit.

We’re proud to be a people-first agency. And if you care about doing the job the right way, you’ll fit right in.

All roles are subject to enhanced DBS checks and safeguarding in line with Safer Recruitment guidelines.

Want to make a difference?
