Level Teaching Assistant; HLTA - Field Gate School

Higher Level Teaching Assistant (HLTA) – Field Gate School – Doncaster

We are looking for Higher Level Teaching Assistants (HLTA) to join our school in Doncaster, South Yorkshire at Five Rivers.

Field Gate School is a small independent SEMH school for pupils aged 6‑18. We are registered and offer education for 30 children with a range of needs. Our school is a "school without walls" offering child‑centred, bespoke education packages and support to more children in the community. We are an Ofsted registered school that also supports 1 ACE provision locally.

As an HLTA, your day will be varied and interesting. You will support our teachers by assisting in the classrooms and the community for children who cannot attend school. You will follow a flexible structure and support our children and young people to unlock their passion for learning. You will work within a trauma‑informed practice model where we can support and follow a therapeutic practice.

Our leadership team will invest in your professional progression, source and deliver up‑to‑date training, and prioritise and discuss your personal development goals so you get the most out of your career.

Our young people may have had many adults come in and out of their lives, often adding to their trauma. Therefore, we seek dedicated people who want to continue their careers with a therapeutically based organisation and leading alternative education provision.
