HLTA (Behaviour Hub) job summary
Clarendon Academy is looking for a personable and dedicated HLTA to work as a learning lead to students within our Behaviour Hub, starting as soon as possible. The role will involve working with our behaviour and inclusion team to support students who are not in their timetabled lesson for a short period of time, assisting students in completing recap work and refocusing ready to return to learning in lessons.
