Job description

Location: Slough
Role: HLTA - Higher Level Teaching Assistant
Full-Time | Term-Time Only
Start: September 2025
Brand New Alternative Provision - Join from Day One

A brand-new Alternative Provision is opening its doors in Slough this September, and we're looking for a skilled and confident HLTA to be part of the founding team.

This setting is designed for young people who haven't thrived in mainstream school. Many will have social, emotional, or behavioural needs (SEMH), and will require patience, structure, and a different kind of support. As HLTA, you'll play a vital role in building strong relationships, supporting learning, and helping students re-engage with education in a setting that puts wellbeing first.

What we're looking for:

  • Experienced HLTA (ideally with a background in SEN, SEMH, or AP)

  • Confident supporting and delivering lessons in core subjects (especially English or Maths)

  • Able to step up and lead sessions when needed

  • Strong behaviour management and a calm, consistent approach

  • Someone who genuinely enjoys working with students others might have written off

  • Reliable, resilient, and ready to help shape a new school culture

The role includes:

  • Supporting teaching and learning across a small, focused setting

  • Delivering pre-planned lessons or interventions when required

  • Building positive, trusting relationships with pupils

  • Helping maintain structure and routine throughout the school day

  • Working closely with teachers, pastoral staff, and SLT

This role would suit someone who:

  • Has worked in a PRU, Alternative Provision, or SEN school

  • Wants to be part of a small team doing things differently

  • Is looking for a long-term role with real impact

  • Can adapt quickly and keep students at the heart of everything they do

What you'll get:

  • A unique opportunity to be part of a school from the very beginning

  • A supportive team and hands-on leadership

  • Ongoing CPD around trauma-informed practice, SEMH, and inclusion

  • Competitive pay (PAYE or umbrella options available)

  • The chance to genuinely change the trajectory of young people's lives

If this sounds like the challenge you've been looking for, get in touch. We'd love to tell you more.
