An inclusive and forward-thinking SEN school in Enfield is seeking a confident and dedicated Higher Level Teaching Assistant (HLTA) to join their team this September. You don't need to hold an HLTA qualification – but experience supporting children with SEMH or complex needs is essential.
This is a fantastic opportunity for someone passionate about creating positive change and helping young people with additional needs thrive in a nurturing, structured environment.

Working alongside the SENCO, pastoral team, and external agencies (e.g. CAMHS, social workers) to provide holistic support
-
Leading and mentoring Teaching Assistants as needed, sharing best practices and strategies
-
Taking part in regular CPD, training, and reflective practice focused on therapeutic and trauma-informed education
-
Promoting a safe, respectful, and inclusive learning culture for all students
What We're Looking For:
Essential:
-
Strong experience supporting children with SEMH or SEND, ideally in a school or alternative provision
-
Excellent communication and relationship-building skills
-
A calm, proactive, and empathetic approach to behaviour and learning support
-
Comfortable working independently with small groups or individuals
Desirable (but not required):
-
Experience in a PRU or specialist SEN/SEMH setting
-
Familiarity with trauma-informed or therapeutic approaches such as Team Teach, Thrive, or PACE
-
Leadership experience or a desire to develop in that area
Why Join This School?
-
A warm, supportive leadership team that values your development
-
Ongoing training in therapeutic and inclusive approaches
-
A chance to genuinely impact the lives of young learners who need consistent and compassionate support
-
Clear path to grow into more senior support or intervention roles
If you're ready to step up, support students who need it most, and be part of a team that's making a real difference in Enfield – we want to hear from you.
