• Provide tailored support that enables students to engage with learning and develop confidence and independence.

• Support students within mainstream lessons where appropriate, helping them to access the curriculum and re-engage with learning.

• Monitor and record student progress, contributing to personalised support strategies and reintegration plans.

• Build confidence, motivation, and self-regulation skills in students who face significant barriers to learning.

Person Specification

The successful candidate:

• Is passionate about inclusion and committed to supporting young people with a wide range of social, emotional, and academic needs.

• Has experience as an HLTA or equivalent, with strong skills in supporting English and Maths learning at either primary or secondary level.

• Approaches students confidently and calmly, including those who may be anxious or disengaged.

• Demonstrates excellent behaviour management, communication, and interpersonal skills.

• Is highly organised, proactive, and IT literate, particularly in using behaviour and progress-tracking systems.

• Shows empathy, professionalism, and resilience when working with students who have barriers to learning.

• Works flexibly across pastoral and learning support spaces to meet changing student needs.
