About you:

We are seeking to appoint a dedicated and proactive Higher Learning Support Assistant (HLSA) to join our English Language Learning team in Primary for an August 2025 start. The role will involve supporting students who are very new to English in Years 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6.

Each HLSA would be assigned to one year group and would primarily work with a small group of students. The role involves working closely with the class teachers to adapt and prepare learning materials that are accessible and tailored to the needs of the students, with a focus on Maths, Science, STEAM, and MSC.

Key Responsibilities:

1. Work closely with the class teacher to meet the learning needs of individual students, ensuring lessons are accessible and appropriate for each child's language level.
2. Adapt and prepare teaching materials to ensure content is accessible and aligned with students' language levels.
3. Lead small group sessions focusing on Maths, Science, STEAM, and MSC, as required.
4. Provide in-class support during lessons, assisting students in understanding and completing tasks.
5. Collaborate with the class teachers to ensure key content is covered and understood by students.
6. Monitor and track the progress of students, providing feedback and adjusting support strategies as necessary.
7. Work closely with the relevant ELL teacher to consolidate language learning covered in ELL lessons in other subject areas.
8. Promote an inclusive and supportive learning environment, encouraging student engagement and independence.
9. Foster positive relationships with students, ensuring a safe, nurturing, and respectful atmosphere.
10. Support the teacher with classroom management and maintaining a productive learning environment.
11. Attend staff meetings and professional development sessions as required.

Qualifications, Skills and Experience:

1. The candidate should have at least 4 years of relevant experience working in an international school.
2. The candidate should hold a bachelor's degree; a CELTA, TESOL, etc., is desirable but not essential.
3. Experience working with children in an educational setting, ideally within the UK education system or curriculum.
4. A good understanding of the British Curriculum, particularly in Maths and Science.
5. Experience or knowledge of working with children with language barriers.
6. Ability to differentiate learning materials and tailor teaching strategies to individual student needs.
7. Strong communication skills, with the ability to build positive relationships with both students and staff.
8. Ability to work as part of a team and be flexible in response to the evolving needs of the classroom.
9. An understanding of child development and how to support children's learning and well-being.

Application Process:

If you have the passion, energy, and commitment to drive accelerated outcomes for young people, we will welcome your application. In return, you will join a rapidly evolving organisation that can offer you a central role in our future growth plans.

The closing date for applications is the 16th of March 2025. Please note that due to the expected volume of applications, only shortlisted candidates will be contacted for an interview. The school reserves the right to make suitable appointments before the official closing date, and therefore we would encourage candidates to apply early in the process. The appointment start date will be August 2025.
