Higher Level Teaching Assistant (HLTA)

This is more than a support role. It’s about being a trusted adult, a creative thinker, a calming presence, and a constant learner. Our students thrive when the people around them are consistent, caring, adaptable, and resilient.

​

​

What You’ll Be Doing

As an HLTA, you’ll take on a diverse and rewarding role, including:

• Supporting learning in the classroom alongside teachers

• Leading small group sessions and providing tailored 1:1 interventions

• Assisting with the design and delivery of engaging lessons and activities

• Helping students navigate social situations – even if it’s just over lunch or a board game

• Managing resources, organising trips, and creating vibrant displays

• Helping to regulate behaviour, ensure safety, and provide emotional support

• Joining therapy sessions, celebrating breakthroughs, and reflecting after tough days

• Bringing your own interests to enhance both the curriculum and wider school life

We believe HLTAs should have a voice in how our school runs. Your input will help shape the student experience—both academically and beyond the classroom.

What We’re Looking For

You’ll need to be:

• Calm under pressure and quick to adapt

• Emotionally intelligent, non-judgmental and compassionate

• Proactive, solution-focused, and ready to wear many hats in one day

• Passionate about inclusion and positive outcomes for all children

Why Work With Us?

We believe that great support staff deserve great support. In return for your dedication, we offer:

• A competitive salary

• A staff laptop and mobile phone

• Ongoing training and recognised qualifications

• Small class sizes with additional TA support

• Career progression within a growing national organisation

• Enhanced occupational sick pay

• Flexible pension scheme

• Exclusive staff benefits

If you're ready to be part of a team that truly values its staff and to work in a school where your voice matters and your work changes lives, we’d love to hear from you.
