Details of the Role

Our campus based Key Stage offer has brought about a significant shift in our school’s culture and reputation and we are delighted that our most recent Ofsted visit in February 2026 recognised the huge advancements the school has made. Our children are happy here, our staff are proud to work here and our parents would recommend the school.

The Kingsway School is seeking a committed and compassionate HLTA to join our Inclusion and Diversity (SEND) Department at an exciting time of growth and development.

You will support high-quality teaching and learning for students aged 11–16 with a range of additional needs, working across mainstream lessons and targeted interventions. The role includes delivering small-group and individual support, contributing to assessment and review processes, and working closely with teachers, families and the wider SEND team to remove barriers to learning.

Our SEND provision includes a strong universal offer alongside a Resource Base supporting students with more complex needs. You will join a collaborative team of experienced professionals who meet regularly to plan, review and refine support.

We are looking for someone who is patient, proactive and ambitious for young people, with strong communication skills and a commitment to inclusive practice. In return, we offer a supportive school community, a personalised induction and high-quality professional development.
