The HLTA will work in the team, be led, and line managed by our SEND Unit Lead.

• Be enthusiastic, confident and able to use their initiative
• Be patient, empathetic and resilient
• Have good numeracy and literacy skills.
• Play a full part in the life of the school and is committed to working in partnership with staff and parents

Suttons Primary is a GOOD school and can offer you:

• a kind, caring, warm and friendly school with happy, and motivated children;
• a well-resourced brand new teaching environment adjacent to our mainstream school
• continuing professional development opportunities within and outside of school and an experienced team to offer advice and support
• an opportunity to be part of a strong and dedicated staff team who are committed to high standards and creating an inclusive learning environment for all children
