Job Description
Job Title: SEND HLTA – Small Class, Big Energy
Class size: 10. Personality: Massive.
Welcome to a classroom where no two days are the same and the kids are as brilliantly ‘exotic’ as their acronyms suggest—SEMH, ADHD, MLD, ASD. Aged 8 to 10, our pupils bring spark, challenge, and lots of love (eventually). It’s a setting that demands consistency, humour, and a bit of good old-fashioned grit. Sound like your kind of place?
What’s the setup?
You’ll be part of a close-knit trio:
1 class teacher
1 LSA (ready for anything)
And you – our superstar HLTA
When the teacher’s out (PPA or absence), you’ll take the reins and lead the class, supported by your trusty LSA partner.
What we’re looking for:
You’ve got SEND experience (or maybe you’ve tamed a wild mainstream class or two). You’re the type who:
Turns up early, coffee in hand, ready to roll
Doesn’t flinch when a lesson goes sideways
Has a ‘firm but fair’ approach with clear boundaries
Can roll with last-minute changes (flexibility is your middle name)
Stays cool in chaos and consistent with every child
Cracks a joke even when it’s been a day
Bonus points if you love the great outdoors—we’re big on Forest School vibes.
What you’ll need:
Experience supporting or leading in a SEND or SEMH setting
Confidence to lead the class when needed
A big heart and a thick skin (in equal measure)
Sense of humour firmly intact
Why join us?
At Protocol Education, we value support staff like the legends they are. You’ll get:
Weekly PAYE pay (no umbrella faff)
Access to our free Thrive training (yep, free)
Personal support from a consultant who actually gets what you do
Training, CPD, and growth opportunities galore
Schools that really appreciate consistent faces
Apply now and bring your best self to a class that will challenge, reward, and change you. In a good way.
Let’s make this role feel less like “just another job” and more like your next real adventure.
