What I'm looking for

I am seeking a pupil-focused role in a supportive school or care setting where I can use HLTA skills, continue training, and contribute to positive outcomes.

I am a dedicated Higher Level Teaching Assistant with experience managing classroom resources, producing detailed pupil reports, and overseeing school systems such as online booking for clubs. I combine strong organisational skills with reliable, inclusive support to promote a positive learning environment.

My background includes hands-on support for children with additional needs, café customer service, and running community-facing communications. I am IT proficient with Microsoft Office, trained in HLTA practices, first aid, safeguarding, SEN and diabetes care, and I continually pursue professional development.

I work well independently and within teams, take initiative to solve operational issues, and prioritise building positive relationships with pupils, parents and colleagues. I am motivated to apply my organisational strengths and compassionate approach in a role that supports pupil development and smooth day-to-day operations.
