Working 1:1 with pupils

Supporting children with SEND

What are we looking for?

We'd like to hear from candidates who have:

Previous experience as an HLTA or experienced Teaching Assistant

Confidence leading learning with groups of pupils

Strong classroom management skills

A good understanding of teaching and learning

The ability to build positive relationships with pupils and colleagues

An HLTA qualification is advantageous, although relevant experience will also be considered depending on the individual school and role.
