Why this role?
You've put in the hours to become an HLTA, now put that experience somewhere it's genuinely valued. In London's specialist SEMH settings, HLTAs lead whole-class sessions, cover lessons independently, run nurture groups, and coordinate other support staff. This is a senior role with real autonomy, not extra duties bolted onto a TA job.
A typical week could include
- Leading learning sessions and delivering specialist interventions independently
- Supporting pupils with EHCPs through complex, individual presentations
- Mentoring newer teaching assistants and support staff
- Contributing to EHCP reviews and progress monitoring
What you'll need
- Formal HLTA qualification or equivalent status
- At least two years' experience in a specialist SEMH or SEND setting
- Enhanced DBS with children's barred list
- Level 2 Safeguarding certificate
- Two phone-verified professional references
- Right to work in the UK
Even better if you have
- SEMH, AP, or PRU experience
- Team Teach or positive behaviour support training
- EHCP implementation experience
- Confidence leading sessions independently
