• Work closely with teachers to plan, deliver, and assess lessons in line with the school's curriculum.
• Provide support for students with emotional and behavioural challenges, using tailored strategies to help them manage their emotions and thrive.
• Assist with life skills activities and vocational training.
• Promote positive behaviour and encourage the development of social and communication skills.
• Help maintain a structured and supportive learning environment for all students.

What We're Looking For:

• Experience working as a HLTA or in a similar role with students with additional needs.
• Strong knowledge of educational support strategies and the ability to adapt to individual student needs.
• Excellent communication, teamwork, and leadership skills.
• Empathy, patience, and a proactive approach to supporting students' growth.
• Ability to promote positive behaviour and foster a nurturing learning environment.
