Music Production - KS3 / KS4 - Higher Level Teaching Assistant (HLTA)

If you have natural enthusiasm for working with young people and are committed to working to improve their life chances, then Redbridge Alternative Provision (RAP) would like you to join our welcoming and passionate team.

RAP provides an education for a range of KS3 & 4 students who have been, or are at risk of permanent exclusion from their mainstream school.

They need to be resilient and flexible enough to work in a pressured school environment. The successful applicants will demonstrate a strong commitment to the aims, values and ethos of the school and be a positive team player.

We are looking for an exceptional HLTA with:

Very good numeracy/literacy skills

NVQ 3 for Teaching Assistants or equivalent qualification or experience

An interest in, and understanding of, Special Educational Needs and the factors which affect behaviour

Resilience, stamina, flexibility and excellent interpersonal skills

We can offer you:

The opportunity to be part of a supportive, child focused team of staff with a community feel.

A highly rewarding job with no risk of boredom

A well structured staff wellbeing offer

Career progression and extensive CPD Programme

Opportunities for additional responsibility and promotion
