Special secondary school for Social, Emotional & Mental Health needs.
Leading pre-planned lessons. Full-time/Long-term.
We have worked closely with a fantastic special school in Swindon for years and they are on the lookout for a new HLTA to join the team. The school has a few different sites in Swindon and they look after students with Social, Emotional & Mental Health needs (SEMH) aged 11-16. The school is well established in Swindon and is very proud of the important work they do there. The school is a challenging environment to work in due to the needs of the students but the staff are supporting many students who have been completely neglected in mainstream environments.
The role of SEMH Higher Level Teaching Assistant is incredibly varied, you are really the school's all rounder. You will provide cover wherever necessary, whether this is supporting as a TA or leading pre-planned lessons across a range of subjects. You do not need to be a subject specialist but must feel confident leading a class of students. You will be regularly dealing with challenging behaviour so confidence in this area is essential. The school is open to a range of applications but you must have experience of working with secondary aged students. This is an exciting opportunity for someone wanting to take the step up from TA and has aspirations of becoming a teacher - there is no better first-hand experience than this!
