Behaviour Specialist HLTA - Rhondda Cynon Taf (September Start)
Pay: £100.00-£130.00 per day (depending on experience)
Do you have a passion for transforming behaviour and helping young people reach their full potential?
Are you confident, resilient, and able to build strong, meaningful relationships with pupils who need that extra support?
Aspire People are recruiting for a Behaviour Specialist HLTA to work across schools in Rhondda Cynon Taf from September. This is a highly rewarding role where you'll play a pivotal part in helping pupils overcome barriers, re-engage with learning, and achieve success both in and out of the classroom.

The Role
As a Behaviour Specialist HLTA, you'll be at the heart of the school's support system-working closely with teaching staff, pastoral teams and ALN/SEN specialists to create a calm, structured, and positive learning environment.
You won't just manage behaviour-you'll influence change, build confidence, and make a lasting difference.

Key Responsibilities

Targeted behaviour support: Deliver impactful 1:1 and small-group interventions to improve engagement, emotional regulation and readiness to learn
Positive behaviour & de-escalation: Use proven strategies to reduce disruption and successfully support pupils back into lessons
HLTA responsibilities: Lead engaging learning activities, deliver planned sessions and confidently provide high-quality classroom cover
Pastoral support: Support pupils with routines, transitions and reintegration following behavioural challenges
Collaborative working: Work closely with teaching staff and pastoral/ALN teams to implement and review individual behaviour plans
Safeguarding: Maintain accurate records and follow safeguarding procedures to ensure pupil wellbeing at all times

The Ideal Candidate
We're looking for someone passionate, proactive and emotionally intelligent, who thrives in a challenging but rewarding environment:

Experience working with children or young people in education or a support-based setting
Strong behaviour management skills with the ability to quickly build trust and rapport
Confidence stepping into an HLTA role, leading sessions and interventions independently
A calm, consistent and resilient approach
Excellent communication and a genuine team-player mentality

Desirable (but not essential): Experience supporting pupils with SEMH, EBD, mental health needs, challenging behaviour, anxiety and/or ALN.

Opportunities to work across a variety of schools in Rhondda Cynon Taf

A chance to secure a role where you can genuinely make a difference every day
