 In this role, you will carry out the full range of HLTA responsibilities, supporting teaching and learning throughout the school day, including intimate care.

In addition, you will take on the important role of Bus Lead, acting as the main supervising adult for pupils travelling to St Bernard’s in the morning and at the end of the school day, ensuring their safety, wellbeing, and a calm, positive start and end to their day.
