Gloucestershire Hospital Education Service is looking to appoint two caring, experienced and highly motivated HLTA to join the team from September 2026. We have one fulltime and one part-time position available. From September 2026 GHES will have two classroom spaces – one in Cheltenham and one in Gloucester – hence we are expanding our team of Teaching Assistants. The role will involve working with small groups of students or individuals throughout the day at either venue, and on some occasions working in the student home. This may be supporting in lessons alongside our teaching staff, working on intervention/thrive strategies with individuals, working alongside the centre pastoral lead to create safe learning plans or supporting our students when they go off-site for trips and visits. This is a great opportunity for an experienced HLTA looking to apply their skills and experience in a smaller setting where the vast majority of students coming in have poor mental health, school based anxieties to overcome, have become isolated due to illness, or have experienced trauma. The role is working Monday to Friday, approx. 8:00am to 4:00pm for 39 weeks per annum, 37 hours per week.
