HLTA - SEMH

An exciting opportunity has arisen at Lawnswood School to join our on-site alternative provision as an HLTA. The provision supports our KS3 and KS4 students to succeed whilst remaining in school. Lawnswood School is a thriving school with strong leadership and a dedicated and supportive team of staff. We are looking for someone with enthusiasm, a ‘can do’ mentality, and the drive and determination to ensure that the students with whom you work can overcome barriers to learning and progress; helping to keep them safe, happy and successful throughout their time with us. Your experience in supporting students with SEMH needs, to access the mainstream curriculum will be key, and you will work closely with teaching colleagues to ensure effective implementation teaching and learning; as such, the role offers a professional challenge and a rewarding opportunity to be part of an inclusive school with a leadership team who are highly committed to improving the mental health and wellbeing of young people. The school will endeavour to make any necessary reasonable adjustments to the job and the working environment to enable access to employment opportunities for disabled job applicants or continued employment for any employee who develops a disabling condition. Our school is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. Appointments will be subject to an enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service check. If shortlisted, you will be required to disclose relevant information regarding criminal history and an online search will be conducted. This includes only information publicly available online. We promote diversity and want a workforce which reflects the population of Leeds. Employment is conditional on confirmation of the right to work in the UK – either as a UK or Irish citizen, under the EU settlement scheme or having secured any other relevant work visa.
