Following a review of SEND provision, we are seeking a committed and skilled Specialist SEND HLTA to support pupils with cognition and learning needs, mainly in Key Stage 2.

This is an exciting opportunity to help establish a new provision, including a calm learning space and a dedicated, adapted curriculum focused on English, Maths and PSHE. Pupils accessing this provision may be working below age-related expectations and require tailored support linked to EHCPs or specialist advice.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Deliver small group support in a calm, structured environment each morning
  • Adapt English and Maths learning to meet individual needs
  • Support delivery of a personalised PSHE curriculum
  • Work closely with class teachers to ensure continuity of learning
  • Support pupils to successfully reintegrate into class in the afternoons

We are looking for someone who:

  • Has experience supporting pupils with SEND, particularly cognition and learning needs
  • Has a strong understanding of curriculum adaptation in English and Maths
  • Is calm, patient and committed to inclusive practice
  • Brings an open-minded, flexible, can-do attitude
  • Can work collaboratively with staff and external professionals

This provision is distinct from our SEMH Nurture provision, with a clear focus on learning needs. We will work alongside external specialists to ensure high-quality implementation.

We are an inclusive, forward-thinking school committed to achieving the best outcomes for all pupils.

Safeguarding

The school is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children. The successful candidate will be subject to an enhanced DBS check and satisfactory references.
