We are seeking to appoint a compassionate and skilled Higher Level Teaching Assistant (HLTA) to join our Inclusion Team, working within our dedicated SEMH internal provision (Connect).
Connect provides a bespoke learning package for some Key Stage 4 students with SEMH needs who are unable to access learning in a fully mainstream environment and who would benefit from an adapted curriculum.
Students are supported to achieve their full potential academically and emotionally, including reintegrating to mainstream lessons as appropriate, with staff working with other agencies to offer comprehensive support.

You will work closely with teachers, families, and the wider pastoral team, offering support, guidance, and professional insight to help ensure positive outcomes for every student.
