Duration: Fixed Term for 12 months with the possibility of being extended to 18 months (due to school operating on split sites temporarily)
Hours: 8:00am - 4:00pm with 30 minute lunch break, Monday - Friday
In this role, you will carry out the full range of HLTA responsibilities, supporting teaching and learning throughout the school day, including intimate care.
In addition, you will take on the important role of Bus Lead, acting as the main supervising adult for pupils travelling to St Bernard’s in the morning and at the end of the school day, ensuring their safety, wellbeing, and a calm, positive start and end to their day.

If you are a qualified HLTA, looking to progress your career and make a meaningful difference, we would love you to join our dedicated and supportive team and help our children learn, grow, and prosper.
