Job Description

Job Introduction

Are you an experienced and confident HLTA who is passionate about teaching and supporting children with additional needs? Do you have the resilience, skill, and creativity to work with some of the most vulnerable young people in education? If so, The Linden Centre would love to welcome you to our team.


At The Linden Centre, we support pupils whose education has been significantly affected by their social, emotional and mental health needs. Many of our learners need additional guidance and a different approach in order to engage, achieve, and succeed. We are proud of our inclusive ethos and are seeking a dedicated HLTA who is ready to take on a key teaching role.


We are looking for someone who can:

Plan for and deliver lessons across the school under the guidance of teaching staff. Adapt learning to meet a wide range of SEMH needs and individual education plans. Use behaviour management strategies that are consistent, fair, and focused on positive relationships. Provide high-quality support both in class and in small-group or one-to-one sessions. Work flexibly as part of a multi-disciplinary team to ensure the best outcomes for every pupil.

In return, we offer:

The opportunity to teach and lead learning in a highly supportive, specialist SEMH environment. Ongoing training and professional development tailored to SEMH practice and inclusive education. A collaborative staff team where your skills, ideas, and resilience will be highly valued. The chance to make a meaningful difference to children who need it most.

This HLTA role goes beyond classroom assistance - it is about delivering lessons, shaping learning, and being a consistent role model for pupils who may not have had positive experiences in education before.


If you are driven by the belief that every child deserves an education that works for them, and you are ready to step up into a teaching-focused HLTA role, we would love to hear from you.
