What skills and experience we're looking for
Are you an experienced teaching assistant who wants to take the next step in your career? We are looking for an HLTA to come and join our enthusastic and highly skilled team in making a difference to children's lives. We are looking for someone as soon as possible.
In this role, you will take responsiblity for agreed learning activities including regular PPA and leadership cover and other short term cover where appropriate. This will involve preparing and delivering already planned lessons, possibly marking work under the guidance of the Class Teacher. When not covering, you will be working within a class with groups and individuals alongside other professionals to ensure rapid progress.
There may be the requirement to work across different year groups in the school, dependent upon the needs of the school.

The successful candidate will:
- be educated to at least GCSE Grade C in English and Maths or equivalent and have the experience of working with children in an educational setting
- have relevant qualifications in childcare and learning and a working knowledge of the National Curriculum
- have experience of supporting individuals and small groups of children in achieving the lesson objectives
- be able to liaise with the class teacher, providing feedback and keeping records of progress and behaviour
- support the social, emotional, behavioural and medical needs of pupils
- Communicate with parents
- Prepare resources and undertake administrative tasks
- Display children's work creatively
