About the Trust
This is an exciting opportunity to join an award winning Multi Academy Trust and be part of a welcoming and supportive team that serves amazing children and young people. Nexus Multi Academy Trust was founded in 2016, with 19 unique SEND and mainstream academies.
We are a growing, forward thinking and innovative Trust with a shared ethos, vision and values for a personalised child centred approach. We are committed and invested in “Learning together, to be the best we can be” and it is as relatable to every employee and partner of our Trust as it is to our children, young adults and their families.
This is a truly rewarding opportunity to make a lasting difference in a young person’s life. As a specialist HLTA, you will be at the heart of their educational journey, helping them to grow, thrive, and achieve their potential through a personalised programme of learning. Guided by a Specialist Teacher, you’ll deliver engaging, high‑quality lessons tailored to the student’s unique needs and interests, whether at home or out in the wider community. Your role will be about more than just teaching — it’s about building trust, fostering confidence, and opening doors to new possibilities.
We’re looking for someone who brings passion, creativity, and professionalism to every interaction. You’ll be flexible in your approach, able to adapt activities to inspire and motivate, and committed to maintaining the highest standards of care and conduct. Strong communication skills and the ability to collaborate with parents, carers, colleagues, and other professionals will be key to ensuring the very best outcomes.
In return, you’ll join a supportive team that values your contribution and invests in your growth. You’ll benefit from ongoing training and professional development, dedicated time for planning and assessment, and the chance to work in a collaborative environment where your efforts are truly appreciated. Most importantly, you’ll have the privilege of seeing the impact of your work every day, knowing that you are helping to shape a brighter future for a young person who deserves the very best.
