HLTA, Brand New SEMH Provision – The Castle @ Theale

The Castle @ Theale is a brand new provision for students aged 11-19 with SEMH and ASD run by The Castle School. We are planning to welcome our first students onto a carefully designed resource in September 2022. Do you want to be part of shaping its future?

We are delighted to be seeking HLTA’s to work within the school team to create exceptional learning environments and to support the delivery of an exciting curriculum in a truly therapeutic setting.

This is a fantastic and unique opportunity for someone with SEMH/ASD experience, a passion for person centred learning and therapeutic approaches, to be involved in growing this new provision, to make a genuine difference and be part of shaping lives within our community.

Working closely with the class teacher and wider school team, you will support the needs of pupils as individuals or in small groups throughout the day.  You will be required to help implement education plans and provide assistance with programmes devised by other therapists.

Applicants will need to have excellent people skills and a warm and caring personality.  The ability to communicate effectively with pupils, parents and other staff is important.  Opportunities for training are available and all staff are encouraged to take up these opportunities

For the successful candidate, we can offer:

• The opportunity to work with highly experienced, devoted colleagues and students who value the experiences we provide, within a dynamic, creative, therapeutic environment

• A bespoke package of support and CPD to enable you to grow and develop into who you are aspiring to be

• A caring, positive and inclusive environment

• Well trained, professional and supportive governors

• Freedom to innovate and an active role in contributing to the shared vision of the school
