Higher Level Teaching Assistants - 1 Ace Clannad

We are looking for Higher Level Teaching Assistants (HLTA) to join our 1 Ace provision in Orpington, Kent; you will work with an experienced team and in a culture where children are respected, listened to, and involved in as many decisions as possible.

As an HLTA, your day will be varied and interesting. You can support our teachers by assisting in the classrooms or out in the community whilst following a flexible structure and supporting our children and young people to unlock their passion for learning.

1 ACE (Another Chance Education) is our alternative education provision, which works with children and young people who struggle in their formal or specialised education settings; we offer education on an outreach basis or within one of our Ofsted registered a school.

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 progression as a professional in the Education sector. We source and deliver up-to-date opportunities and prioritise and discuss your personal development goals to ensure you get the most out of your career. We know how important it is that we look after you so you can look after the children who need you.

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