Job description

Tradewind Recruitment are working with a newly opened all through SEND School in Wombourne who are looking to recruit a SEND HLTA on a temporary to permanent role.

The school provides personalised and inclusive education for children and young people aged 5 - 16 who experience a range of learning difficulties.

The school cater for students with ASD, Global Development Delay, Neurodiversity, moderate learning difficulties, Dyslexia, Dyspraxia, Processing difficulties, Speech, language and communication needs.

The school is based on a bespoke model designed to engage all learners. The overarching vision for the school is to provide individualised support for all students and prepare them to become successful independent adults who know they can make a positive contribution to their community, becoming valuable members of a society.

The school believe that an ambitious, well-planned curriculum is essential for not only achieving successful academic outcomes but also in effectively meeting the social, emotional, and mental health needs of their learners. A broad range of the National Curriculum will be followed because we aspire for the pupils to achieve high educational standards. Alongside the educational offer runs through a golden thread of therapeutic interventions to support the well-being of the student and enhance their development and this in turn supports their trajectory and closes the gap between their peers.

There will also be enriching elements to the curriculum including carefully selected interventions to enable the children to become self-regulating, self-aware, and socially and emotionally mature. Whilst the school appreciate that the pupils will have additional needs and present with additional challenges, they see no reason to lower their expectations of both what they can achieve and the outcomes which are possible for them.

The school are looking for a full time SEND HLTA to start ASAP, they are happy to consider Cover Supervisors, HLTAs and Teaching Assistants willing to make the jump up as long as you're comfortable planning the lessons. What is important to the school is your understanding of special needs and your ability to empathise and help the pupils thrive.

This role paid on experience and there must be a proven track record of school experience.
