The successful candidate will be part of our Learning Support team working with students who experience difficulties in accessing the curriculum.

The objective of this post is to provide support to targeted individual students, small groups, and classes during core subject lessons. The needs of the students will vary; some will have special educational needs such as Dyslexia or ASD. The successful candidate will generally work with small groups of students within the main classroom to ensure students’ progress and boost their confidence. The role involves planning, preparing, and delivering group work or team teaching with the main class teacher. The successful candidate will also be expected to deliver interventions to targeted students focusing on pre- and post-teaching of set texts, exam skills, and vocabulary.

As with all HLTAs, the post holder will progress students’ learning and work with other professionals to support pupils’ social, emotional, and physical wellbeing. Qualifications in Maths/Numeracy or English/Literacy equivalent to at least NVQ Level 2 are required. The post requires a good standard of education and a positive, supportive attitude towards young people.

We develop our staff through a professional growth model and value personal strengths and qualities. Our school is set in a 55-acre site midway between London and the Channel Ports, easily accessible via major roads and motorways. You will enjoy a unique working environment in the heart of the Weald of Kent, including discounts and offers with Kent Rewards, RAC, and enhanced pension contributions. A nursery on the school site offers discounts to staff.

Closing date for applications: 30th August 2024. Early applications are encouraged as we review applications as received.
