Behaviour specialist HLTA

Behaviour Specialist HLTA - Monmouthshire (September Start)
Pay: £100.00-£130.00 per day (depending on experience)
Do you have a passion for supporting young people to overcome behavioural barriers and succeed in education?
Are you confident, resilient, and skilled at building strong, trust-based relationships with pupils who need consistency and guidance?
Aspire People are recruiting for a Behaviour Specialist HLTA to work across schools in Monmouthshire from September. This is a rewarding opportunity where you'll play a key role in helping pupils regulate emotions, rebuild confidence, and re-engage positively with their learning.

The Role
As a Behaviour Specialist HLTA, you'll play a vital role within the school's support network-working alongside teaching staff, pastoral teams and ALN/SEN specialists to create a calm, structured and supportive environment.
This is a role where you'll go beyond behaviour management-you'll drive positive change, support personal growth, and make a meaningful difference every day.

Key Responsibilities

Targeted behaviour support:
Deliver effective 1:1 and small-group interventions to improve engagement, emotional regulation and readiness to learn
Positive behaviour & de-escalation:
Use consistent strategies to manage behaviour and support pupils back into learning
HLTA responsibilities:
Lead learning activities, deliver planned sessions and provide high-quality classroom cover where needed
Pastoral support:
Support pupils with routines, transitions and reintegration following behavioural challenges
Collaborative working:
Work closely with teaching staff and pastoral/ALN teams to implement tailored behaviour plans
Safeguarding:
Record and report concerns in line with school safeguarding procedures

The Ideal Candidate
We're looking for someone calm, proactive and passionate about making a difference, who thrives in a rewarding but sometimes challenging environment:

Experience working with children or young people in an education or support setting
Strong behaviour management skills and the ability to quickly build rapport
Confidence working at HLTA level, leading interventions and sessions independently
A resilient, patient and consistent approach
Excellent communication skills and a team-focused mindset

Desirable (but not essential):
Experience supporting pupils with SEMH, EBD, mental health needs, challenging behaviour, anxiety and/or ALN.

Why Aspire People?

Opportunities to work across a range of schools in Monmouthshire

The chance to work in a role where you'll see the impact you make every day
