Higher Level Teaching Assistant (HLTA) – Specialist KS1 Provision (Autism/SLCN)
Start Date: September | Mainstream Primary School

We are seeking a passionate and dedicated Higher Level Teaching Assistant (HLTA) to join our inclusive mainstream primary school from September. This is an exciting opportunity to lead a specialist KS1 provision, supporting children (primarily Year 2) with Autism and Speech, Language and Communication Needs.

About the Role
You will be the lead adult within a specialist “hub” classroom, delivering a tailored, semi-formal curriculum designed to support pupils with additional needs. Working closely with the Assistant Headteacher/SENCo, you will play a key leadership role in shaping learning experiences that enable every child to thrive.

This is a fantastic opportunity for someone with experience—or a strong interest—in specialist education within a mainstream setting.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead a small class of KS1 pupils within a specialist provision
• Plan, prepare and deliver engaging lessons using a multi-sensory, semi-formal approach
• Implement learning through structured carousel activities
• Use TEACCH principles to support routine, independence and engagement
• Contribute to the development and delivery of the Equals curriculum
• Create and adapt classroom resources tailored to individual needs
• Support pupils’ integration into mainstream classrooms, assemblies, and wider school life
• Work collaboratively with teaching assistants and school staff, guiding and supporting others where needed
• Monitor and assess pupil progress, adapting teaching accordingly

About the Provision

• Two dedicated specialist “hub” classrooms
• Focus on communication, independence, and engagement
• Close alignment with mainstream opportunities where appropriate
• Strong senior leadership and SENCo support to develop practice and pedagogy

The Ideal Candidate Will Have:

• HLTA status (or equivalent experience)
• Experience working with children with ASC and/or SLCN
• Confidence in leading a classroom or readiness to develop leadership skills
• A strong understanding of inclusive, adaptive teaching approaches
• Experience with (or willingness to learn):

Equals curriculum
• TEACCH approach
• Multi-sensory, structured learning environments
• Excellent communication, organisation, and teamwork skills
• A nurturing, patient, and flexible attitude

What We Offer

• A supportive and experienced Senior Leadership Team
• Ongoing professional development, including training in TEACCH and Equals
• The chance to lead and shape a growing specialist provision
• A collaborative, inclusive whole-school ethos
• Opportunities for career progression

How to Apply
If you are committed to making a meaningful difference to children with additional needs and are ready to take on a rewarding leadership role within a supportive school environment, we would love to hear from you.
