St Benedict’s is a joyful, family-friendly Roman Catholic primary school in the heart of York. Rooted in the values of Kindness, Curiosity and Courage, we are dedicated to helping every child “be the best that they can be – together.” With exceptional outdoor spaces, a nurturing atmosphere, and a strong sense of community, our school is a calm and creative oasis for learning.

Catholic schools are welcoming places to pupils and members of staff from all faiths and none. More than a quarter of a million pupils and almost half of teachers in Catholic schools are not of the Catholic Faith.

We are seeking to appoint an enthusiastic and talented HLTA to work 22.5 hours per week who has the vision and drive to make a significant impact across the school and is committed to making a difference to the lives of children. The successful applicant will be responsible for planning, preparing, and delivering learning activities for individuals/groups of pupils and PPA cover including delivering lessons to pupils across school.

St George’s Catholic Primary School is part of Nicholas Postgate Catholic Academy Trust, a family of 32 primary schools, and 6 secondary schools. With more than 12,300 pupils and 1,500 staff, the Trust is now one of the largest Catholic Multi Academy Trust in the UK. 

The ideal candidate will:

  • Plan and deliver high quality learning activities for individuals/groups or for whole classes, monitoring and assessing, recording and reporting on pupils’ achievement, progress and development
  • Be highly motivated with a commitment to securing the best outcomes for all children
  • Be nurturing, reliable and committed to inclusive education.
  • Share our passion for helping every child reach their full potential.
  • Be actively involved in all aspects of school life.
  • Have excellent communication and interpersonal skills to support pupils with different needs and abilities
  • Embrace the values and Catholic ethos of our school (you do not need to be Catholic to apply).
  • We can offer:

  • Enthusiastic children who are curious, independent learners
  • Excellent personal and professional development opportunities
  • An experienced and talented team of staff with a supportive Governing Body and wider School / Church community
  • The opportunity to be involved in the wider life of our Trust
