HLTA job summary
The East Specialist Inclusive Learning Centre (SILC) is a 2-19 generic special school with 470 learners on roll. All our learners have special learning needs and some have physical/ medical difficulties. The East SILC is a complex organisation which operates on a variety of sites to provide a range of outreach services across the city, including partnerships with primary and secondary providers, the city-wide Physical Difficulties and Medical Service including a moving and handling service, as well as the Medical Needs Teaching Service for Leeds.
Do you want to join a team making a difference to learner’s lives?
An exciting opportunity has arisen for a temporary Higher-Level Teaching Assistant to join our existing team at the East SILC. The post will initially be based within our sensory and communication pathways at John Jamieson. As with all appointments at the East SILC there may be a requirement to work across sites. An interest and experience in working with learners with complex needs is essential.
The HLTA appointed to this post will work alongside Teachers and Teaching Assistants to raise the learning and attainment of all learners in both academic and EHCP areas. The post holders will support learners, individually or in groups, so that they can access all areas of the curriculum, always promoting learners’ independence. Integral to this role is the ability to produce planning to support the delivery of learning activities and assess, record and report on learners’ progress and achievement. The planning procedure will be supported by teachers where possible.
The post is open to all applicants who meet Higher Level Teaching Assistant standards or equivalent qualification/ experience.
The East SILC has a progressive staffing structure which is supported by Continual Professional Development. A thorough induction process is in place.
The East SILC is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. Appointments are made subject to a satisfactory enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service check (DBS formally CRB) and medical clearance from Leeds City Council’s Occupational Health Service.
All shortlisted candidates must complete a self-disclosure form before interview.
It is illegal to apply if you are on the Children’s Barred List.
The East SILC promotes diversity and wants a workforce which reflects the population of Leeds.
