At Bodmin College, our mission is “to provide a great quality of education so that every child can live a life full of choice and boundless opportunities.”

We believe in the power of strong relationships- between students, their families, staff and the wider community- and that we become stronger by learning with and from each other.

Bodmin College is on a transformational journey to provide an inclusive and ambitious education for all learners.

Our students are incredible and deserve the very best staff who are driven, compassionate and relentlessly positive in what we are seeking to achieve together.

Bodmin College is a warm, ambitious and forward-looking community school in the heart of Cornwall. We are part of Cornwall Education Learning Trust which means we have a strong culture of professional growth: we invest in our staff, encourage reflective practice and support you to become a great practitioner.

The role of Higher-Level Teaching Assistant (HLTA) will support us in our graduated approach in responding to the needs of every student. At the heart of this, is enabling every student to read at least in line with their chronological reading age, a key foundation to accessing the full curriculum. In addition, the successful candidates will be able to lead interventions in social, emotional and mental health, cognition and learning and/or communication and interaction.

The successful candidate will have the skills and experience to work effectively 1:1 or with small groups of students; able to plan a sequence of interventions and to assess the impact. They will also be willing, following appropriate training, to provide personal care to students who have physical disabilities.

We are looking for someone with the energy, flexibility and determination to support our school in enabling every young person to access opportunities and experiences that enable them to grow in confidence and character.

If you share our values and are passionate about enabling every child to succeed, we’d love to hear from you.
