Higher Level Teaching Assistant (HLTA) at Brook School

Brook School is a new independent school that has recently opened its doors, and we are looking for exceptional staff to help shape a truly unique and inspiring place to learn and work.

We are looking to appoint an enthusiastic and committed HLTA, to work within KS3 supporting a class of neurodiverse learners to achieve their potential. At times you will lead lessons under the guidance of the class teacher, cover PPA in other classes and work to support our other teaching assistants to develop their confidence and understanding. 

This is a rare opportunity to be part of the founding team, to build a culture from the ground up, and to create a school where relationships, care, and individual growth sit at the heart of everything we do. With a therapeutic and trauma-informed ethos, relationships and nurture are at the heart of everything we do.

We are looking for kindness, patience, and a genuine willingness to adapt to meet the individual needs of every learner.

Our learners will need adults who see them, hear them, and are ready to think creatively to help them thrive. If you believe education should be personal, flexible, and rooted in compassion, you will feel at home here.

What makes us different?

• Small classes and a nurturing environment
• A strong focus on individual learning journeys
• Freedom to teach creatively and responsively
• A leadership team that values staff wellbeing as much as learners progress
• A culture built on respect, collaboration, and support
