Job/Person Summary
Due to our former HLTA progressing to become a teacher, we now have space to recruit a new HLTA to our team. We are a small school with a big heart.
We have 6 classes, each in bright and spacious teaching and learning spaces. Our outdoor areas are equally inviting, providing an excellent environment for our students to explore, play, and learn. We are a connected community who all have one common goal, to ensure that all children at Hart Plain Infants are:

- Happy and safe
- Respectful members of the community

The ideal candidate will meet the Higher Level Teaching Assistant standards or equivalent qualifications. Have a proven track record of supporting children with SEND. Minimum of two years relevant experience.
In addition, we’d like our new HLTA to have well developed interpersonal skills and a sense of humour enabling effective relationships with a variety of people. You must agree that children thrive when they learn within a safe, calm and nurturing environment. You need to be a practitioner who is relentless to make a difference through delivering high quality and challenging lessons. You must be able to promote strong habits for behaviour for learning and create a classroom environment where learning is infectious and exciting.
You will be required to deliver lessons and work from teacher’s planning. You would be supporting a small SEND group for some of the week. Your role would be varied and rewarding.
In return we can offer you the chance to work within a small, supportive team. A school where work life balance is carefully considered, a well-planned, organised and resourced curriculum to help reduce the planning load and a golden ticket incentive.
