Welcome to our school,
Broomfield SILC is a generic special school for pupils aged 2 to 19 years with 4 sites: our main site and 3 partnership sites at Windmill Primary, Rodillian Secondary and White Rose Post 16. The SILC is based in the South of Leeds and caters for a wide range of needs from moderate learning difficulties; severe learning difficulties; complex and multiple learning needs; Autism and social and emotional and mental health needs. Some students have additional needs – physical; medical; speech and language; visual, hearing or sensory impairment. We are a very popular choice for parents and carers and currently have over 270 pupils on roll.
Broomfield secured a ‘Good’ Ofsted in March 2023 where inspectors commented that leaders have ‘high ambitions’ and ‘high aspirations for all pupils’ and that ‘staff are proud to work in our school’. I am very proud of our school community where staff are committed to supporting young people to fulfil their potential and prepare them fully for their future, particularly focusing on communication, independence, and emotional regulation.
We are looking for a HLTA who wants to make a real difference to the lives of our pupils to inspire a desire for learning, to maintain our high standards and make a significant impact on the life chances of our pupils.
The successful candidate will excel in meeting the diverse needs of our pupils. You will be supported within your class by a team of Learning Support Assistants and by a Middle and Senior Leadership Team who have a secure understanding of the rewards and challenges of teaching in our school. Our staff are passionate about developing the learning and life chances and opportunities of our pupils and young people.
We are particularly interested in applications from candidates who have experience working with learners with Autism and Complex Communication needs. The successful candidate is likely to be working in the Semi Formal and/or the Informal Teaching and Learning Group but could work across any of our sites or teaching and learning groups.
The successful candidate will have the following qualities:
Experience and skills of working with pupils with a wide range of Special Educational Need and strategies to ensure learning is engaging and inclusive
High expectations, commitment and enthusiasm for both the personal and educational development of all pupils
Excellent communication, organisation and interpersonal skills
An ability to work collaboratively with parents, carers, multi- professionals and outside agencies
The ability to work effectively within a team
A passion for education and willingness to support staff in enabling all our pupils to reach their potential
A commitment to making contributions to the life of the school
A commitment to the provision of a high-quality education for all
In return we can offer:
- Working with the most inspirational pupils who are respectful, creative and resilient
- The support of a professional, knowledgeable and inclusive staff team
- A comprehensive CPD programme with potential for career development
- An opportunity to be an integral part of a young person’s journey and a real sense of achievement
- A workplace that listens to all staff and values their skillset and contribution
