Term time plus 1 week

We are looking for two motivated and ambitious HLTAs to join the Severndale Team. You will be joining an exceptional group of highly skilled Teachers, HLTAs, Teaching Assistants and support staff who work collaboratively to provide a highly personalised curriculum. We particularly encourage individuals with experience in SEND provision in Special or Mainstream schools who have a passion for meeting the holistic needs of our complex learners.

Who are we?

We are committed to demonstrating our school vision of ‘Enabling Communication, Independence and Enjoyment for Life’ through our chosen school values of Communication, Independence, Wellbeing and Inclusivity. We strive to live these values throughout each school day. Severndale Specialist Academy is a multi-site Academy catering for children with special educational needs in Shropshire. Our children and young people are aged 2 ½ to Post-19 and have a range of learning difficulties. These include moderate, severe, complex and profound learning difficulties, those with autism, complex medical conditions and physical and mobility difficulties. A number of our young people present behaviour that can challenge, arising from their condition; many have communication difficulties.

What is the purpose of the role:

The main purpose of this post is to co-ordinate, devise daily/weekly plans from medium term planning, risk assess appropriately and deliver lessons to pupils with a range of SEND, tailoring sessions to their IEPs, physical needs and positive behaviour support plans. You would be supervised and supported in this by an allocated Senior Leader. You would bring significant school experience as a TA or HLTA with skills and knowledge in supporting children with SEND, and will also be well organised and a great communicator, able to compromise and reach mutually acceptable outcomes with staff and pupils.
