What skills and experience we're looking for
A Senior Educational Support Assistant (HLTA) assists teachers inside and outside the classroom. Their primary duties include preparing lesson plans for interventions, teaching small groups or 1:1 instruction, reporting on student progress, adapting resources, quality assuring the provision for specific learners and the line-management of some Teaching Assistants. The duties of a HLTA will vary depending on special areas of interest and expertise and the changing needs within the educational setting.
Ideal candidates will either have experience working as a teaching assistant, a higher level teaching assistant or a cover supervisor. Transferrable skills from a similar role, such as sports coach or nursery nurse, for example, are also good prior experience.
This role would suit someone who has an interest in gaining the relevant education-based experience to progress within education and/or as a ‘stepping stone’ for further opportunities, which may include a pathway into teaching. Successful candidates will be required to have a DBS check on the update service or be willing to obtain one and will be required to provide references.
