An inclusive and forward-thinking SEN school in Enfield is seeking a confident and dedicated Higher Level Teaching Assistant (HLTA) to join their team this September. You don't need to hold an HLTA qualification - but experience supporting children with SEMH or complex needs is essential.
This is a fantastic opportunity for someone passionate about creating positive change and helping young people with additional needs thrive in a nurturing, structured environment.
What You'll Be Doing:
Delivering small group or individual learning activities tailored to pupils with Social, Emotional and Mental Health (SEMH) needs
Supporting teachers in adapting and planning lessons to meet diverse learning and emotional needs
Working alongside the SENCO, pastoral team, and external agencies (e.g. CAMHS, social workers) to provide holistic support
Leading and mentoring Teaching Assistants as needed, sharing best practices and strategies
Taking part in regular CPD, training, and reflective practice focused on therapeutic and trauma-informed education
Promoting a safe, respectful, and inclusive learning culture for all students
What We're Looking For:
Essential:
Strong experience supporting children with SEMH or SEND, ideally in a school or alternative provision
Excellent communication and relationship-building skills
A calm, proactive, and empathetic approach to behaviour and learning support
Comfortable working independently with small groups or individuals
Desirable (but not required):
Experience in a PRU or specialist SEN/SEMH setting
Familiarity with trauma-informed or therapeutic approaches such as Team Teach, Thrive, or PACE
Leadership experience or a desire to develop in that area
Why Join This School?
A warm, supportive leadership team that values your development
Ongoing training in therapeutic and inclusive approaches
A chance to genuinely impact the lives of young learners who need consistent and compassionate support
Clear path to grow into more senior support or intervention roles
If you're ready to step up, support students who need it most, and be part of a team that's making a real difference in Enfield - we want to hear from you.
