We are looking for an enthusiastic and dedicated Higher Level Teaching Assistant (HLTA) to join our small, committed team on a maternity cover basis at Evelina Hospital School.

Based within Evelina London Children's Hospital, we provide creative, personalised education to children and young people aged 2 to 19 who are receiving medical care. Our aim is to ensure that every pupil continues to learn, achieve positive educational outcomes and feels valued, nurtured and respected during their time with us.

We are particularly interested in candidates who can bring specialist skills or experience to complement our existing team, such as ICT/Computing, English, Maths, Science or SEND.

The successful candidate will be educated to degree level (or equivalent) and will be a flexible, resourceful and proactive team member. Strong communication skills, the ability to maintain confidentiality and a commitment to professional development are essential. Above all, you will enjoy working with children and young people of diverse ages and abilities and be committed to helping every pupil succeed.

This is an exciting opportunity to make a real difference to the educational experience of children and young people in a specialist hospital setting.
