About the Role
Axcis Education is seeking a passionate and creative Music Teacher or experienced HLTA to support pupils with PMLD (Profound and Multiple Learning Difficulties) at a well-regarded SEND school in Greenford / Northolt, Ealing.
This is a part-time role starting in September 2026 delivering engaging and sensory-based music sessions for pupils across both primary and secondary age groups. The school is ideally looking for someone available Tuesday to Thursday, though the days can be flexible for the right candidate.
