What skills and experience we're looking for
We are seeking to appoint a passionate and dedicated HLTA to join our Inclusion Team at Maghull High School. The successful candidate will be key in ensuring positive outcomes for the students who have social, emotional and mental health difficulties. Our Inclusion Team staff are fulfilled by the idea of making positive changes for our young people, often acting as their advocate as they navigate their way through school. There will be lots of ups and downs, but to many of our young people, the support offered by their trusted team of adults is the most important thing to ensure success. Our actions may sometimes seem small on the surface, but they can mean a massive difference to our students.
We are dedicated to supporting students with SEND needs and are looking for motivated, inspiring, and influential candidates who will take responsibility for the provision for some of our most complex and vulnerable students, supporting their achievement across all curriculum and non-curriculum areas in school. This role is ideal for a candidate who has experience and knowledge of Special Educational Needs (in particular those with SEMH difficulties) who is now looking for a more senior role within a team of dedicated individuals.
Working alongside the SENDCO and Assistant SENDCO you will also support the management of staff members including TAs and outside agencies/practitioners to ensure strategies and targeted support delivers positive impact. You will support with administrative processes and be expected to keep accurate and detailed records.
The successful candidate will be required to confidently collaborate and communicate with students, staff, families and a range of external services and partner schools.
