Elementa are recruiting for an able SEND HLTA to work at this special school & PRU based in Swindon. The school provides education across their sites for learners that have ASD/ASC (Autism), SEMH and other complex needs as well as for children that have been permanently excluded from school. Often, all of their children display challenging behaviours.

Naturally being an experienced SEND HLTA in this type of teaching environment comes with its challenges; however this is a rewarding place to work. The headteacher continues a long-standing approach to offer outstanding opportunities for the learners while maintaining a highly positive, friendly & welcoming work environment for colleagues.

Applicants with Team Teach training or other positive behaviour management training may be at an advantage; free training will be provided for the successful applicant. The school operates on a transparent and collaborative basis between staff & senior leadership team. Ideas are shared and everyone has the opportunity to enhance the working environment and student opportunities. This is a highly positive environment to work in for both staff & students.

If you are a skilled SEND HLTA looking for an opportunity where you can see the clear difference that you are making to students while working alongside a strong teaching & support staff team, this is the job you should apply for.

Applicants should have good previous SEND experience and knowledge, particularly in SEMH and ASD/ASC, and how to adapt the education approach to ensure that high-quality learning still takes place.

To be considered for supply opportunities, you must:

• have good previous SEND experience
