About the Role
As a Level 4 Teaching Assistant (HLTA), you will have a higher degree of autonomy and responsibility than a standard support role. You will be instrumental in organising the learning environment and will frequently plan, prepare, and deliver learning activities for individuals, groups, and whole classes. You will act as a bridge between support staff and teachers, often covering classes in a teacher's absence and taking a lead on implementing EHCPs. This is a dynamic role perfect for someone who wants to make a significant impact on teaching and learning standards.
Responsibilities
• Planning & Delivery: Plan, prepare, and deliver learning activities for individuals, groups, and whole classes (including providing short-term cover supervision), setting challenging objectives to meet student needs.
• SEN Management: Lead the development and implementation of EHCPs, contributing to reviews and liaising with parents and external agencies to ensure robust support for pupils with additional needs.
• Assessment & Reporting: Monitor and evaluate pupil progress using various assessment strategies, maintaining accurate records to provide objective feedback and inform future planning.
• Pastoral & Behaviour: Manage classroom behaviour to promote independence and self-control, whilst providing pastoral care to ensure a supportive and inclusive learning environment.
• Excellent communication skills with the ability to lead meetings with parents and professionals.
• GCSE Grade C/4 or above in English and Maths.
• HLTA qualification or relevant experience
