Full time, permanent
We have a fantastic opportunity for an experienced Teaching Assistant to work both in the main school and at our enhanced resource provision (ERP).
Huntington School is a highly successful 11-18 co-educational comprehensive school with over 1500 students in years 7-13. As a Teaching Assistant Level 3 you will be working with an experienced team of dedicated colleagues to support the learning of our students. This will be done in our Learning Resource Centre or in the classroom.
The successful candidate will also be expected to support children and young people in our enhanced resource provision (ERP). Huntington ERP is a specialist provision on site, that opened in September 2023. It offers a supportive and nurturing learning environment for children and young people to reach their potential. All children and young people in the ERP will have an EHCP with a primary need of Communication and Interaction (with and without a diagnosis of autism) and are likely to have had support at primary focussed on self-esteem, social anxiety and managing their environment. The ERP will provide a specialist education for those children and young people with social interaction and communication differences and related social anxiety.
Children and young people will be taught by a specialist teacher and supported by a skilled and experienced TA in small groups for the majority of the school day. They will access the mainstream school at Huntington for some lessons, with the number of lessons dependent on strengths and specific interests. The enhanced support will focus on building confidence in social interactions in a nurturing environment, to gain confidence in themselves, become more independent and progress their learning to ensure successful outcomes for adult life.
This is an exciting opportunity for an enthusiastic, and experienced practitioner with a proven track record of planning and delivering interventions for CYP with Communication and Interaction needs. Working alongside specialist teaching staff, the successful candidate must have a desire to promote the development and independence of children and young people with autism and SLCN within the ERP and mainstream school.

National Research School
We are a designated Research School. Huntington plays a crucial role in this DfE initiative and will provide colleagues with great professional development opportunities.
Research Schools aim to lead the way in the use of evidence-based practice. Through the network we share what they know about putting research into practice, and support schools in their region to make better use of evidence to inform their teaching and learning so that they really make a difference in the classroom.
Becoming a Research School is an exciting development that will help us to support teachers and school leaders in our region, and nationally, at a time of turmoil and increasingly challenging curricula and assessment. We see our role as providing support tools and training to better inform school improvement and improve student outcomes.
"The school has a well-thought-out professional development programme for staff, which is supported effectively by the Research School. As a result, staff are experts in their subject areas. The school ensures that staff are supported in their development and learning. Staff apply relevant subject and pedagogical research. This benefits all pupils." - Ofsted Nov 2023
