You will plan and deliver tailored learning activities for individuals and small groups, lead lessons when required to ensure continuity, and work closely with teaching staff to adapt learning and interventions to meet individual needs. Alongside this, you’ll monitor progress, provide feedback, contribute to personalised support plans, and use effective behaviour strategies to help pupils stay engaged and motivated. Building strong, trusting relationships will be key to your success in this role.

• Have HLTA status (or equivalent experience)
• Bring experience of working with pupils with additional needs, particularly SEMH
• Be confident leading learning and adapting to individual needs
• Demonstrate strong behaviour management skills with a calm, resilient approach
• Build positive relationships and act as a consistent, supportive role model
• Be committed to inclusion, safeguarding and supporting pupil wellbeing
