About the Role
We are looking for Higher Level Teaching Assistants (HLTA) to join our school without walls covering the Bristol and Bath areas. You will work with an experienced team in a culture where children are respected, listened to, and involved in as many decisions as possible.
As an HLTA, your day will be varied and interesting. You will support our teachers by assisting in the classrooms and the community for children who cannot attend school; you will follow a flexible structure and support our children and young people to unlock their passion for learning. You will be based in our Ofsted registered school but will also support 1 ACE provision locally.
1 ACE (Another Chance Education) is our alternative education provision, which works with children and young people who struggle in their formal or specialised education settings; we offer education on an outreach basis or within one of our Ofsted registered schools.
You will work within a Trauma-informed practice model where we can support and follow a therapeutic practice.
