What skills and experience we're looking for
The Richmond upon Thames School (RTS), an ambitious and inclusive secondary academy in Richmond, London, is seeking a dedicated and experienced Higher Level Teaching Assistant (HLTA) to join our growing team. This is an exciting opportunity to support students across all key stages and subjects, and to work as part of a dynamic Inclusion and SEND Team that plays a vital role in securing excellent outcomes for every learner.
As an HLTA, you will provide high-level classroom and intervention support, plan and deliver learning to small groups and individuals, and contribute to our wider culture of ambition, equity, and care. You will work under the guidance of the SENDCo, with responsibility for key students and for mentoring other support staff as appropriate. At RTS, every member of staff is instrumental in shaping an environment where high expectations, collaboration, and innovation thrive.

• The school is well served by local bus routes in all directions; and is within easy walking distance to Twickenham train station, which is in Zone 3 and well served by South Western Trains. The station has recently undergone a major redevelopment with a new station building, access and shops.
