Enfield
September 2026
Are you an experienced Higher Level Teaching Assistant looking for a rewarding role within a specialist SEND setting?
We are working with a specialist school in Enfield that is seeking a dedicated HLTA to support pupils within their KS3 complex needs provision. This is an excellent opportunity to join a supportive team and make a meaningful difference to the lives of young people with Autism, severe learning difficulties, communication needs, and other complex SEND.
What makes this opportunity unique is the level of support available within each classroom. Every class benefits from a Teacher, HLTA, and three SEN Teaching Assistants, creating a highly collaborative environment where both pupils and staff can thrive.
The Role
As a HLTA, you will play a key role in supporting teaching and learning across the classroom. Your responsibilities will include:
- Leading lessons and covering classes when the teacher is absent.
- Delivering interventions and small group learning sessions.
- Supporting pupils with complex learning, communication, and sensory needs.
- Working closely with teachers, therapists, and support staff to achieve positive outcomes for pupils.
- Helping pupils develop independence, communication, and social skills.
- Supporting the implementation of EHCP targets and personalised learning programmes.
What We're Looking For
- Previous experience working as a HLTA.
- HLTA qualification or substantial experience in a similar role.
- Experience supporting children or young people with SEND, particularly Autism and complex needs.
- Confidence leading learning and managing a class when required.
- A positive, resilient, and proactive approach.
Why Apply?
- Work within a well-supported classroom team of five staff members.
- Access ongoing training and professional development.
- Join a collaborative and welcoming SEND setting.
- Long-term opportunities with potential for a permanent position.
- Ideal experience for aspiring teachers and SEND professionals.
