HLTA (Reading Interventions)

Do you want to make a real impact? Do you have a love of reading and an understanding that this can make a fundamental difference to the life chances of our children? We are looking to appoint an experienced HLTA to plan and deliver interventions to Key Stage 3 and Key Stage 4 children, who have been identified as requiring additional support to make rapid progress in reading. The post will include working with the reading lead in school and developing reading for pleasure strategy with our amazing students.

We are looking for an individual with a passion for working with young people, who has a commitment to ensure that all children make the best possible progress in their academic, social and independent skills. Primary reading experience would be an advantage. Our core aim is to provide children with the skills, knowledge, attitudes and confidence which are necessary to enable them to make informed choices for themselves. The children experience a wide range of learning opportunities that are intended to develop them academically and personally.

For our staff, we are firmly committed to ensuring this is a job that can be enjoyed, where everyone can flourish, because we pay close attention to work/home balance. Across the Trust, we continue to develop strategies that take a common-sense approach to those aspects of the role that could become an unnecessary burden on workload - these include a proactive behaviour for learning approach which empowers teachers to focus on teaching, including centralised detentions and smart assessment, feedback & marking processes which minimise time spent on onerous tasks. 

Our collaboration is central to our Trust and our Teachers learn together, sharing their practice and encouraging and supporting each other to get the best out of our working day. The successful candidate will have opportunities to work with colleagues across the Trust and Schools Alliance to support and develop the HLTA (Interventions tutor) with our family of schools.
