Level Teaching Assistant; HLTA

What skills and experience we're looking for

Trevelyan Middle School, situated in Windsor is a dynamic educational institution committed to fostering academic excellence and personal growth among pupils aged 9-13. The school’s ethos – to inspire, challenge and grow – serves as the foundation for its vision: preparing students for success in an ever‑evolving world. We aim to recruit staff who subscribe to the ethos of our school and ‘go the extra mile’ in terms of time and commitment to get the very best from our young people.

We are excited to have recently opened a specialist provision based within our mainstream school that will provide bespoke teaching and learning for pupils with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities to enable them to access as much of the mainstream curriculum as possible and realise their full potential by the time they leave us. Starting as soon as possible, we have a fantastic opportunity for a Higher Level Teaching Assistant to join our team in our new specialist provision.

We are seeking a skilled and empathetic Higher Level Teaching Assistant who can provide consistent, nurturing support to neurodivergent pupils, as well as those experiencing anxiety or behavioural challenges. The successful candidate will be confident in using a range of strategies to help pupils regulate, engage and thrive in their learning.

At Pioneer Educational Trust, we believe in providing an exceptional education to all children and young people. We prepare our learners to thrive at intrapersonal, interpersonal, societal, and global levels and through an outstanding curriculum, strong pastoral systems, and meaningful personal development, our learners' experience is inclusive, relational, and empowering.

At Pioneer Educational Trust, we don’t just offer a job – we offer a community, a career and a commitment to your wellbeing.
