Hilltop is a designated 2-19 special day school for pupils with severe and profound and/or multiple learning difficulties.

We are situated across two sites in Rotherham:
Hilltop site in Maltby and Hilltop Forest View site in Rawmarsh. Each site is designated to meet pupils' needs via its curriculum offer. Pupils generally attend the Maltby site for key stages 1 and 2 of their education. For key stage 3 to 5 pupils, EHCP plans are reviewed, and the school considers which site is best suited to meet their educational needs.

You can help create a forward thinking, innovative culture where pupils and staff can truly flourish. Our ambition and yours will be that Hilltop is a centre of excellence for both the specialist provision and for promoting the latest inclusive practices across education.

Our children and young people at Hilltop deserve an education that will change their lives and give them the opportunity to fulfil their potential. Staff employed in our Academy Trust enjoy a fulfilling career and we focus on releasing your potential and maximising your impact.

This is an exciting opportunity to join an award winning Multi Academy Trust and be part of a welcoming and supportive team that serves amazing children and young people. Nexus Multi Academy Trust was founded in 2016, with 19 unique SEND and mainstream academies.

We are a growing, forward thinking and innovative Trust with a shared ethos, vision and values for a personalised child centred approach. We are committed and invested in “Learning together, to be the best we can be” and it is as relatable to every employee and partner of our Trust as it is to our children, young adults and their families.

We are seeking to appoint two highly motivated, enthusiastic, hardworking and flexible Level 3 Teaching Assistants to join a team of dedicated staff who are committed to providing an excellent learning environment and become part of a successful team in a busy working environment.

Whether you are an experienced Teaching Assistant who has worked within a mainstream or specialist education setting, or someone who has exceptional vocational skills and a real drive to make a difference in children’s lives, you must be able to provide our children with aspirations for their futures along with promoting a positive culture in everything you do.

Knowledge of SEN will be advantageous and you must be able to respond to the emotional, social and mental health needs of our children and young people. You will be required to ensure the safety of our children and young people and facilitate their access to learning by responding to individual needs, which may include personal care and hygiene needs such as toileting and nappy changing.

Via your excellent interpersonal skills, you will have the opportunity to make judgements on the attainment and progress of our students and be able to help them celebrate success.

You will be working as part of a team supporting whole class lessons, group work and working one to one with pupils. You will be part of a committed staff team who are motivated every day by improving the life chances of our children and young people.
