HLTA required New

Are you an experienced HLTA with a passion for supporting students with challenging behaviour? Teaching Personnel is working with a provision in South Bristol where even the smallest achievements mark significant milestones.

Do you have the skills to guide these young learners onto the right path and help them thrive in mainstream schooling again?

This role is ideal for someone who has experience in mainstream education and understands both the academic and behavioural requirements of students. The young people you'll work with have faced challenges but are eager for someone to make a real difference in their lives.

Requirements:

• HLTA qualification or equivalent

• Be confident and proactive in managing challenging behaviour, with strong de-escalation skills
• Be flexible, adaptable, reliable, and consistent for the students and school
• Have the drive and ambition to make a lasting impact on a child’s education and self-confidence
