Headway is an outstanding alternative provision centre, based at Baysgarth School. Our aim at Headway is to ensure that every learner has the opportunity to thrive, feel valued and be successful, and we are committed to ensuring this happens for each and every student no matter what challenges or barriers to learning they face. We understand that every young person is an individual and they have individual talents and needs which must be nurtured if they are to be successful. Our vision at Headway is to offer vulnerable students and their families an educational provision which will do just that.
We are looking to appoint a highly motivated, enthusiastic and committed individual to join our team as we develop this provision. The successful candidate will carry out a key role within the Headway team, providing the curriculum and intervention support to our students. We offer flexible, individualised programmes for students who, for a variety of reasons, are finding mainstream school difficult, which includes a therapeutic, nurturing approach alongside our academic curriculum. In addition to the right curriculum, children need the right pastoral care.
At Headway, all students are allocated with a Key Worker, who will develop the home school partnership and ensure that communication is strong and effective. The role of the HLTA within the team is key in providing high quality learning experiences at all times for our students. Our students deserve the best teaching and this post will ensure that the teaching can match the needs of everyone. The successful candidate will be responsible for:
- Working collaboratively with Baysgarth teaching staff to create outstanding learning opportunities
- Planning and delivering outstanding learning activities for groups
- Creating personalised learning plans matched to need that can be delivered by other staff
- Assessing, recording and reporting on student achievement, progress and development
- Delivering 1:1 or group targeted interventions which may include social and emotional interventions.
The following qualifications and experience are essential:
- GCSE Maths and English (or equivalent) Grade C or above
- Experience of working with students with additional needs within a secondary school
- Knowledge and awareness of KS2 and post 16 education
- Knowledge of how students learn and how additional needs might impact on this
- Knowledge of SEND needs such as ADHD and Autism and how these can be supported
- Using ICT to support students’ learning
- Using differentiation strategies to support a range of learning needs effectively
Headway in partnership with Baysgarth School is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. The successful applicant will be required to apply for enhanced disclosure from the DBS.
