We are seeking to appoint an inspiring and enthusiastic Higher-Level Teaching Assistant to join our thriving, heavily oversubscribed school. This post represents an exciting opportunity to join the next stage of development for this well-established department. If you are a passionate and adaptable educator with a talent for building connections and supporting students who experience Emotionally Based School Avoidance, we want to hear from you.
We are looking for a versatile Higher Level Teaching Assistant (HLTA) to work 1:1 and in small group settings, providing tailored support both online, at home, and in school. You’ll play a crucial role in helping students re-engage with learning, using your strong communication skills to collaborate effectively with staff, students, and parents.
A willingness to understand the KS3 and KS4 curriculum is desirable, along with a flexible approach and a genuine desire to make a difference.
At Litherland High School, we believe in providing our students with excellent and exciting educational opportunities based on the core values of kindness, integrity, and tenacity. We are proud of our broad and balanced curriculum and high aspiration; there is no cap on ambition building the skills for successful lives. Our relentless focus on improvement was validated by Ofsted in February 2024, securing Good in all areas, and we are resolutely on our journey to provide an outstanding education for our students.
One of the foundations of our success is our place in the heart of our community; the relationships between our staff, students, and families are fundamental to securing the high levels of engagement. 96% of parents would recommend our school to other parents. This partnership helps us to ensure strong behaviour, which means our teachers can work in a happy and safe environment, focused on what they do best: teaching. Our staff are committed to our school and community; many of them have been here for most of their career – indeed several are alumni and live locally - and staff turnover is low, which we believe is indicative of a happy work environment and a commitment to staff well-being.
Litherland High School is committed to safeguarding children and promoting the well-being of young people. An appointment will only be confirmed if a satisfactory Enhanced Disclosure is obtained from the Disclosure & Barring Service (DBS), and will be subject to references.
