Higher Level Teaching Assistant

Are you a passionate and dedicated Higher Level Teaching Assistant (HLTA) looking to make a real difference in children’s lives? We are currently recruiting for a rewarding opportunity within a specialist SEN school in Patchway, supporting pupils from early years through to sixth form.

The school caters primarily for pupils with Autism Spectrum Condition (ASC) and provides a supportive, nurturing environment where every learner is encouraged to reach their full potential.

The Role:

• Supporting teaching and learning across a range of age groups (infant to sixth form)
• Delivering small group and 1:1 interventions
• Assisting with lesson planning and adapting resources to meet individual needs
• Promoting a positive, inclusive and structured learning environment
• Working collaboratively with teachers, support staff and external professionals

The Ideal Candidate Will:

• Hold HLTA status or have relevant experience in a similar role
• Have experience working with children or young people with SEN, particularly autism (desirable but not essential)
• Be patient, empathetic and proactive in their approach
• Demonstrate strong communication and teamwork skills
• Show a genuine passion for supporting children with additional needs

What We Offer:

• A welcoming and supportive school environment
• Opportunities for professional development and training
• A rewarding role where you can make a real impact
• Consideration for candidates without direct SEN experience who demonstrate the right attitude, resilience and willingness to learn

If you are committed, enthusiastic, and ready to take on a fulfilling role this September, we would love to hear from you.
