Staff do not need to have secured HLTA accredited status in order to be appointed to an HLTA vacancy/Level 4 vacancy. The headteacher must be satisfied that support staff have the skills, expertise and experience to carry out a range of activities at different levels – including, for some staff, working with whole classes: “Headteachers should have regard to the national HLTA professional standards in considering whether a member of support staff has the necessary skills and expertise to undertake an HLTA role even though they may not yet have achieved HLTA status.” (WAMG guidance on HLTA roles for school support staff).

The school is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment.

This post is exempt from the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act and as part of the selection process applicants must be willing to undergo child protection screening appropriate to the post, including checks with past employers and the Disclosure and Barring Service.

Thomas Gray Primary School is committed to Equal Opportunities and welcomes applications from all sections of the community.
