HLTA (Intervention)
Penistone Grammar School
It takes a whole team to make our school a safe and happy place for our students to learn and we are looking to recruit proactive and innovative people to join our associate staff team.
Contract: Permanent
Hours: Full Time: 35 hours per week, 39 weeks term time
Salary Range: Grade 6 Points 18-23, (£29269 to £32076 per annum FTE)
Actual Salary: £24092 - £26403 per annum
Start Date: September 2024
We are looking for an HLTA who shares our vision to inspire and support our young people to achieve more than they believe is possible. As a school, we pride ourselves on our consistently high standards, in terms of both learning and behaviour. We have a commitment to the success of all students, academically and pastorally and expect all our staff to share this commitment.
Working under the guidance of the Assistant Principal; Strategic Lead for Pupil Premium, the HLTA will directly support students within our in-school provision: The Bridge to overcome barriers to learning, with a major focus on our disadvantaged and SEND students, using small group and 1:1 work. This key role will play a significant part in our whole school improvement target of further improving the life chances of our SEND and Disadvantaged children and you will also be encouraged to bring your flair and enthusiasm to their learning as you plan and deliver your own suite of intervention activities.
Ideally you will be HTLA qualified (or willing to work towards this qualification) with experience at Key Stage 3 and 4 and confident in meeting a wide range of Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND). However, this is far from essential as above all, we are looking for someone who has the drive, determination and ability to make a positive difference to each and every student in their care.
