FOR HLTA POSITIONS.

Redbridge is an ambitious, diverse and exciting east-London borough. What we do is driven by changing our relationship with local people to support our vision. As a result, we've developed innovative ways to build our communities and transform our Council.

We're one of the fastest growing parts of the country and the third most diverse London borough. Our communities are attracted by a mixture of excellent schools, relatively affordable housing, high-quality open space and rapid transport connections into the heart of the City.

Are you that someone special who would like to join our exciting SEND advisory service?

We have a vacancy for a skilled Higher-Level Teaching Assistant, qualified to NVQ3 or equivalent, to join SEaTSS (Specialist Education and Training Support Service).

If you are an experienced HLTA or Teaching Assistant with a record of excellent practice, a flexible mindset and prepared to work across all age groups, then this may be the new challenge you are looking for.

Working collaboratively with mainstream schools across the Local Authority, you will be asked to:

• model good practice
• help to establish support programmes and interventions
• deliver training
• provide emergency support to protect school placements where necessary

You will possess a sound knowledge of SEND practice and procedures and have excellent verbal and written communication and IT skills.

This is an exciting role that will suit an experienced and successful Teaching Assistant seeking to join a highly skilled and talented Specialist HLTA Team that is well-respected across the Local Authority.

If you have a particular area of SEND expertise or interest that you would like to develop, we would love to hear about it in your supporting statement.

This is a demanding, but equally rewarding role. Are you ready to take your experience in SEND support to the next level?

Post: £15.17 - £15.72 per hour depending on experience & qualifications.
