    Your Role

    As a

    Higher Level Teaching Assistant, you'll take an active role in supporting teaching and learning across the school.

    Depending on the needs of the school, your responsibilities may include:

      • Supporting teachers with the planning and delivery of lessons

      • Leading

      whole-class, small-group and 1:1 learning activities

      • Delivering targeted interventions to support pupil progress

      • Taking responsibility for specific learning activities and sessions

      • Supporting pupils across different areas of the curriculum

      • Providing additional support to pupils with

      SEND

      • Helping pupils overcome barriers to learning

      • Managing behaviour confidently, fairly and consistently

      • Encouraging pupils to become more independent and engaged in their learning

      • Supporting classroom organisation and preparation

      • Assisting teachers with assessment and monitoring pupil progress

      • Building positive and professional relationships with pupils, staff and parents

      • Providing teachers with feedback on pupil engagement and progress

      • Helping maintain high standards of behaviour, achievement and classroom expectations

      This role will suit someone who is

      confident, proactive and able to take initiative, while adapting quickly to the changing needs of a busy school environment.

      What We're Looking For

      This is

      not an entry-level or graduate position. We're looking for someone who already understands the demands of working in a school and is ready to step into a more senior support role.

      Ideally, you will have:

        • Previous experience working as a

        Teaching Assistant, HLTA, Learning Support Assistant or similar

        • Strong experience working with children or young people within an educational setting

        • Confidence leading learning activities independently

        • Experience supporting pupils with

        SEND would be advantageous

        • Strong classroom and behaviour management skills

        • Excellent communication and interpersonal skills

        • A calm, patient and consistent approach

        • The ability to work independently while contributing effectively to a wider team

        • Confidence taking initiative and accepting additional responsibility

        • A professional, reliable and positive attitude

        • A genuine commitment to supporting pupil progress and wellbeing

        A university degree would be advantageous but is not essential

        • The right to work in the UK on a full-time basis

        We're particularly interested in candidates who can demonstrate that they are able to

        take ownership, lead activities and provide high-quality support to pupils.

        Take the Next Step in Your Education Career

        If you're an experienced Teaching Assistant or education professional ready to take on

        greater responsibility, this could be an excellent opportunity to develop your career within a supportive school environment.

        Whether you're already working as an

        HLTA or you're an experienced

        TA looking to progress into a higher-level role, we'd love to hear from you.

        You'll have the opportunity to work alongside experienced teachers, take greater responsibility for pupil learning and continue developing your skills within a professional school setting.
