Higher Level Teaching Assistant

Dear Applicant,

Come and join our team

Thank you for your interest and taking the time to find out about this exciting opportunity to join Stamford Green. This is a brand new post designed to contribute towards the continuing growth and success of our school, where all pupils feel valued and supported.

We are looking for a professional, positive HLTA for Inclusion with a creative and resilient approach to work across our school and in our Club Room, which has been created to provide additional support and alternative provision for children across the school. In return we can offer you a friendly, supportive environment with excellent facilities both in the classroom and outside. If you have experience of working in a school but do not yet hold HLTA status, we may be able to support you in becoming qualified whilst working.

Whilst academic excellence is always a focus, it is our dedication to whole-person development that makes our school unique. Our school vision is to be a continually improving learning community for all, where children realise their potential, as such, we are committed to continuing professional development for all members of staff through mentoring, coaching and training. This is because we believe that staff involved in their own development, make the very best role models and create engaging learning opportunities for the children. To support the wellbeing of our staff we provide a considered and thoughtful special leave policy as well as health cover for staff, which provides a range of services including health screening, GP telephone and video consultations, physiotherapy, counselling and private medical operations for certain conditions.

The recruitment process will include a formal interview as well as a teaching task with a group of children. We encourage applicants to come and see our school and you are welcome to make an appointment to visit us. Please contact Beth Saunt, School Operations Leader.

Stamford Green is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. As part of our safer recruitment procedure, shortlisted candidates are required to bring to their interview documents to confirm identity, name, date of birth and address. Online checks will be carried out prior to interview and to facilitate this, shortlisted candidates will be asked to provide details of their online presence. The successful candidate will be required to obtain an up to date DBS enhanced clearance.

I look forward to receiving your application and hope to meet you soon.

Best wishes,

Mrs Louise Druce

Headteacher
