About the Role

Temp to Perm/Permanent
London Borough of Southwark
We are working with a Trauma informed school within Southwark to find a Higher Level Teaching Assistant (HLTA) to work with students with Challenging Behaviour and SEMH. The Environment is very supportive, with you being a Senior Teaching Assistant, occasionally supporting a class of up 6 students in various subjects, and occasionally taking classes as a cover teacher. The students at the school range between 11 to 16 and the school is looking for someone to be a positive guiding force, assisting the students with their personal development just as much as their academic whilst also fitting the positive vibe of the school.
The school offers 3 days off during termtime (something not many schools do) alongside access to medical care outside of the school and a once-a-month therapist if needed. There is a real sense of family to the school, and career progression is available including things such as teacher training or avenues into other areas of the school.
So if you’re looking to make a real impact on the lives of young people and to work in an environment with great career progression, why not apply today?
What we are looking for:
- A nurturing, patient, empathetic and holistic approach.
- Some experience of supporting secondary age children with emotional regulation and with positive behaviour/de-escalation strategies is preferable.
- A positive role model to support communication, with a sensitive and consistent approach.
- Experience with SEMH, trauma, sensory processing, social communication is preferable.
