The work we do is both varied and challenging and, as a trauma and attachment-informed organisation, all staff are provided with extensive therapeutic training and support.

They need to be resilient, persistent and solution-focused to meet the needs of our children and to do so they need to wear a lot of hats and be prepared to change them at a moment s notice! Our HLTAs may be supporting teachers in the classroom working with children 1:1 or delivering sessions with small groups of students managing classroom resources taking children on trips and visits having their lunch with children who struggle socially managing heightened behaviours and keeping children safe playing board games conducting science experiments making amazing displays celebrating success part of therapy sessions or reflecting on difficult periods We want our HLTAs to be part of the decision-making that drives our school, provides outcomes for children and advocates for every child.
