Higher Level Teaching Assistant (HLTA)

St Wilfrid’s Academy are looking to appoint a HLTA to join our academy in September 2023 on a full time, temporary basis to cover Maternity Leave.  

As a HLTA, you will compliment teachers’ delivery of the curriculum and contribute to the development of other support staff, pupils and academy policies and strategies. You will work collaboratively with teaching staff and assist them in the whole planning cycle and the management/preparation of resources. You will supervise whole classes during the short term absence of teachers. You will provide support to pupils, teachers and the academy in order to raise standards of achievement for all, by utilising your advanced levels of knowledge and skills when assisting with planning, monitoring, assessing and managing classes and to encourage pupils to become independent learners. You will provide support for student’s welfare and support the inclusion of pupils in all aspects of academy life.  

St Wilfrid’s Academy is an all through (KS2 to 4) alternative provision that provides full and part time education and support for children and young people who, for a variety of reasons, are unable to access mainstream curriculum education and require a bespoke package. Our educational offer combines a core curriculum with a range of vocational packages to support students successfully into post 16 pathways. Alongside our academic offer, we also provide a range of therapeutic interventions to aid students with their emotional and mental wellbeing. If you are interested in working within an inclusive school, supporting the most vulnerable students to reach their full potential, St Wilfrid's offers this opportunity.

The latest Ofsted grading (December 2019) showed the school to be ‘Good’ with ‘Outstanding’ Personal Development.
