We are excited to appoint an enthusiastic and dedicated Higher Level Teaching Assistant to join Compass, our specialist provision for students with Autism. This is a rewarding opportunity to make a meaningful difference to the lives of some of our most vulnerable students.
As part of the Compass team, you will play a central role in ensuring that students with Education, Health and Care Plans (EHCPs) receive the highest quality support, both within the provision and across the wider school. You will work closely with families, teaching staff and external professionals, delivering targeted interventions and advocating for students across all areas of school life. We are looking for someone with experience supporting students on the autism spectrum, including leading on KS3 transition.
We would particularly welcome applications from candidates who hold, or are working towards, HLTA status as well as a good understanding of exam access arrangements, including organising and managing accommodations to ensure every student can demonstrate their full potential. Strong communication skills, a collaborative approach and a genuine passion for inclusive education are essential.
If you are ready to bring your expertise and commitment to a provision where your contribution will truly be valued, we would love to hear from you.
