Job Description

We are looking for Higher Level Teaching Assistants (HLTA) to join our school without walls covering the

Rotherham and Sheffield

areas. You will work with an experienced team in a culture where children are respected, listened to, and involved in as many decisions as possible.

As an HLTA, your day will be varied and interesting. You will support our teachers by assisting in the classrooms and the community for children who cannot attend school; you will follow a flexible structure and support our children and young people to unlock their passion for learning. You will be based in our Ofsted registered school but will also support 1 ACE provision locally.

1 ACE (Another Chance Education) is our alternative education provision, which works with children and young people who struggle in their formal or specialised education settings; we offer education on an outreach basis or within one of our Ofsted registered a school.

You will work within a Trauma-informed practice model where we can support and follow a therapeutic practice.

Our leadership team will invest in your progression as a professional in the Education sector. We source and deliver up-to-date training opportunities and prioritise and discuss your personal development goals to ensure you get the most out of your career.

Our young people may have had many adults come in and out of their lives, often adding to their trauma. Therefore, we seek dedicated people who want to continue their careers with a therapeutically based organisation and leading alternative education provision.

1Ace Rotherham

You will teach our children in the community in an outreach capacity across Rotherham and Sheffield.

We offer a range of supportive, safe environments for children and young people with whom mainstream and other school settings have not worked. Our Ofsted registered and rated independent schools around England offer various academic, vocational, SEN, and disabilities (SEND) options.
