Higher Level Teaching Assistant

We are delighted to be seeking a new colleague to join us as a Higher Level Teaching Assistant who will work in different classes across the school. This role will involve whole class teaching so class teachers can be released for PPA, ECT time and Leadership time.This dedicated role would suit a more experienced candidate who can demonstrate a strong track record of effective teaching that supports pupil progress. Already having either a teaching or Higher Level Teaching Assistant qualification is preferable but not essential.

We are looking for an HLTA who will:

• teach whole classes during the short-term absence of teachers
• complement teachers’ delivery of the curriculum and contribute to the development of other support staff, pupils and academy policies and strategies
• work collaboratively with teaching staff and assist them in the whole planning cycle and the management/preparation of resources
• provide support to pupils, teachers and the academy in order to raise standards of achievement for all, by utilising your advanced levels of knowledge and skills when assisting with planning, monitoring, assessing and managing classes
• encourage pupils to become independent learners
• provide support for pupil welfare and support the inclusion of pupils in all aspects of academy life
