Senior Learning Support Assistant (Assessment & Intervention) job summary

This role would suit an aspirational Teaching Assistant/Learning Support Assistant or current HLTA seeking further development and promotion. The successful candidate will work closely with the SENDCo and the Administrative Assistant to the SENDCo.

Hall Green School is a very popular, heavily oversubscribed and academically successful 11-16 Converter Academy. We are a highly diverse institution, both ethnically and as a fully accessible mainstream school, attracting pupils from across the city with physical disabilities. We have wonderful pupils who fully contribute to the school’s caring ethos. Likewise, staff work hard to ensure “there is always an adult on hand whom they [pupils] feel they can talk to and who will listen to them” Ofsted (2025). As a school, we pride ourselves on being warm, inclusive and welcoming where positive relationships are at the centre of what we do.

This is a full-time, term-time, post. You will be working 37 hours per week, these hours will need to be worked flexibly depending on the schools need and could change at short notice; hours exclude a 30-minute lunch.

The successful candidate will be a reliable, enthusiastic and flexible team-player who can communicate well with staff and pupils alike. The duties and responsibilities attached to this post are as follows:

  • undertake assessments and co-ordinate appropriate interventions;
  • work with the SENDCo in co-ordinating the school’s access arrangements;
  • day to day management of Learning Support Assistants within the school;
  • to work with the SENDCo to develop effective transition points;
  • to support non-teaching time supervision e.g. duty times.

The school is part of the newly formed West Midlands Academy Trust (WMAT) which opened in January 2025. As one of the three founding members, the school has been integral to forming the Trust’s mission:

  • Relentless focus upon delivering an excellent Quality of Education, resulting in strong progress and attainment for all groups of pupils.
  • Emphasis upon personal development and well-being for staff and pupils.

Most importantly, we are looking for a candidate who shares the school’s approach and commitment to the success and wellbeing of its young people. You are warmly invited to speak to the Headteacher and to make an appointment to visit the school in action.

This post is covered by Part 7 of the Immigration Act (2016) and therefore the ability to speak and write fluently in English is an essential requirement for this role.
