Initial Fixed term contract

 

The successful candidates will be part of our Learning Support team working with students who experience difficulties in accessing the curriculum. 

The objective of both these posts is to provide support to targeted individual students, small groups and classes during Key Stage 4 and 5 GCSE English lessons.  The needs of the students will vary; some will have special educational needs such as Dyslexia or ASD.  Our HLTAs would generally work with small groups of students, within the main classroom, to ensure students’ progress and to boost their confidence.  The role will involve planning, preparing and delivering group work or team teaching with the main class teacher.  The successful candidate will also be expected to deliver interventions to targeted students focusing on pre and post teaching of English set texts, exam skills and vocabulary.

As with all HLTAs the post holder will progress students’ learning and with other professionals to support pupils’ social, emotional and physical wellbeing.  It is necessary for the candidate to have qualifications in Maths/Numeracy or English/Literacy equivalent to at least NVQ Level 2.  The post requires a good standard of education and an attitude which is positive and supportive towards young people. 

We seek to develop our staff through a professional growth model and treat everyone as an individual; we value personal strengths and qualities.  Our school is set in a 55 acre site midway between London and the Channel Ports and is easily commutable via major roads and motorways from London.  You will enjoy a unique working environment in the heart of the Weald of Kent including discounts and offers with Kent Rewards.   You will be provided with an IT device.  There is also a nursery based on the school site which offers discounts to Homewood Staff.
