We are working in partnership with a friendly, inclusive school that is seeking a dedicated Higher Level Teaching Assistant to join their team as soon as possible.

Your Key Responsibilities

- Strong behaviour management and the confidence to lead learning independently.

- A proactive, caring approach and a genuine passion for supporting children’s education.

- Make a Wide Impact:
Work across multiple classes and year groups—no two days will be the same! - Collaborative School Community:
Become part of a supportive, welcoming team committed to professional growth and pupil success. - Development Opportunities:
Enhance your skills, gain valuable experience, and take on greater responsibility at a school that values its staff. - Competitive Pay:
Attractive rates of pay with reliable, full-time work through to July.

Tuebrook (L13) offers excellent access routes, making your commute straightforward:
- Road: Close to the M62 and major local routes linking across Liverpool.
- Public Transport: Well-served by regular bus routes connecting to Liverpool city centre and surrounding areas.
