I am working with a nurturing Jewish, Special Educational Needs school that are looking for a confident and experienced Higher Level Teaching Assistant to join their team in September 2026.

This is a brilliant opportunity for someone who loves supporting children with additional needs and is looking to step into a role with additional responsibility and variety.

What you’ll be doing:

• Supporting pupils with a range of additional needs
• Delivering engaging interventions and small group work
• Leading whole-class learning when required
• Working closely with teachers, therapists and support staff
• Helping to create a calm, positive and inclusive classroom environment

What the school are looking for:

• Previous experience working within SEN settings
• HLTA experience
• Confidence leading a classroom
• A calm, adaptable and proactive approach
• Someone who genuinely enjoys building relationships with children and staff

Experience within Autism, Speech and Language needs, SEMH or Complex Needs would be highly valued.

In return, you’ll be joining a school community that truly values its staff and the difference they make every single day.

Interested? I would love to hear from you. Apply today or contact Molly Brend on 020 4518 5352 for more information on this role.
