Come and be part of our Ambitious and Inclusive school! We are excited to announce a series of new roles that reflect our continued commitment to ensuring all students Belong and Achieve.

As our SEMH HLTA you will support individual pupils or small groups to access the curriculum and engage fully in their learning. Working alongside class teachers you will support in raising pupil attainment, promoting independence, self-esteem, and social inclusion.
