Provide Education are currently recruiting for an experienced HLTA to join a welcoming secondary school in Sheffield, supporting pupils within the school’s Learning Hub.
This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced HLTA, Level 3 Teaching Assistant or teacher with a strong background in intervention work, particularly those who have experience supporting upper primary age pupils, or pupils who are working significantly below age-related expectations.

The Role
The successful candidate will work within the school’s Learning Hub, delivering targeted support to pupils across KS3. Your responsibilities will include:

• Planning, delivering and assessing Year 7 Maths intervention groups for pupils working at a very low ability level.
• Planning and delivering reading intervention groups for pupils across Years 7–9.
• Supporting pupils who are not yet meeting age-related expectations and helping them make progress towards their individual learning goals.
• Planning, delivering and assessing targeted Maths and Literacy interventions.
• Monitoring pupil progress and adapting interventions to meet individual needs.
• Working closely with teaching staff and the SEND team to ensure interventions are targeted and effective.
• Building positive relationships with pupils and creating a supportive, encouraging learning environment.
• Supporting pupils with a range of additional learning needs within the Learning Hub.

The Ideal Candidate
The school has specifically requested candidates who meet the following criteria:

• Minimum Level 3 Teaching Assistant qualification or above – essential.
• Proven experience planning and leading small-group interventions – essential.
• Experience delivering Maths and Literacy interventions.
• Ideally, experience as an HLTA or teacher with upper-primary experience.
• Alternatively, strong experience working within a secondary school delivering interventions to pupils who are working below age-related expectations.
• Confident planning, delivering and assessing Maths and Literacy interventions.
• A patient, encouraging and adaptable approach to supporting pupils with low attainment.
• Excellent communication and classroom management skills.
• Previous experience working within a secondary school or similar educational setting.

The Opportunity
The role will run from ASAP until Christmas, with the potential for the successful candidate to be offered a permanent position at the school if they prove to be the right fit.
This makes it an ideal opportunity for an experienced HLTA or intervention specialist looking for a role that could develop into a long-term career opportunity.
