What skills and experience we're looking for

We are have two vacancies for Higher Level Teaching Assistants to start in September 2024. The successful candidates will have previous experience working in schools, most likely as a teaching assistant or higher level teaching assistant.

The role offers variety across a working day. Some of the time will be spent working with groups of children or individuals to support their learning. Our HLTAs also teach whole classes for periods, working from plans prepared by the class teacher. Most of this is pre-planned and regular, for example covering a teacher when they are on their PPA (Planning, Preparation and Assessment Time). Our HLTAs also do first day sickness absence cover when a teacher is off sick, so flexibility is important.

We can offer you:

• Wonderful children
• A supportive parent community
