Higher Level Teaching Assistant

About the school

Our priority is that all pupils feel valued as individuals and are active participants in the learning community to enrich their life skills and experiences. The school was recognised as a ‘Good’ school by OFSTED (February 2023) and we are very proud of our reputation as a warm and welcoming family school.

We are looking for an HLTA who has the experience, motivation and skillset to work primarily in Key Stage 1, and Key Stage 2 teaching classes across the school and covering PPA. Some PPA time would be included in the hours and the post-holder would be able to negotiate which subjects they teach from the wider curriculum each term. The overall structure of planning for our curriculum is well established, and you would be able to put your own creativity into the lessons too.

Opportunities for overtime are very likely to come up from time to time and you would be our first port of call for other ad hoc cover needs, or perhaps to accompany small groups of children to sports events and other activities. Duties could include;

• Carrying out regular PPA cover teaching for teachers
• Supporting classes by covering teacher absence and leadership release time across the school
• Meeting the academic, developmental and emotional needs of children
• Creating a safe and stimulating environment to promote learning and inclusion for all children
• Building and maintaining relationships with parents and carers and other childcare professionals/agencies
