Higher Level Teaching Assistant

The success of Preston Manor School is built on an 80-year old reputation which continues to flourish through its committed staff, dedicated Governors and supportive parents. 

We are an all-through co-operative school with pupils ranging from 4 – 19 years. Staff are expected to make the most of this all through provision and to liaise with relevant colleagues in all parts of the school. The school is over two sites and there may be times when colleagues are expected to work across both sites with pupils. 

We value working in partnership together with our young people to achieve the best outcomes for every pupil that joins our prestigious school. The school is oversubscribed for places, reflecting the reputation the school has for its academic rigour and excellence in teaching and learning. 

We are proud of our focus on student and staff wellbeing, which is evident from the moment you step into our community. We are driven in our aims and ambitions and aspire to continue to build on our success in a supportive and friendly environment. At Preston Manor we celebrate diversity and equality of opportunity, which is reflected in our high staff- retention rates and the successes of our pupil population. 

We are looking for a Higher Level Teaching Assistant to support pupils and lead small group interventions.

We are looking to appoint an HLTA with good literacy, numeracy and communication skills as well as someone who shows a range of experience working with students with a variety of SEN pupils in secondary settings. We are particularly keen to hear from someone who holds HLTA status and has training/ qualifications specific to SLCN.

In return we will offer: 

• Motivated, enthusiastic and ambitious students

• Friendly supportive staff

• Well-resourced facilities with newly refurbished classrooms

• A professionally stimulating and collaborative working environment 

• A commitment to a professional development 

The school is situated within walking distance of the world famous, Wembley Stadium, which    offers easy access to newly created facilities including the London Designer Outlet. 

The school benefits from excellent transport links via public transport and is located a short walk from both Wembley Park and Preston Road Underground Stations. Central London locations are accessible within 20 minutes from the school. The school is also easily accessible from main roads including the M25, M1, M40, A40 and A406. 

The above post provides an excellent opportunity to work in a high quality environment and to become part of a highly motivated and visionary team.
