Contract: Part time, Full time, Temporary (with possibility of becoming Permanent), Day to day

Are you a confident and experienced education professional ready to step into a flexible and impactful role? We're on the lookout for confident and experienced education professionals to step into high-impact High Level Teaching Assistant (HLTA) roles at our welcoming, inclusive primary schools in Bexleyheath, starting after the October half term.

This is not your typical classroom support role, as a designated HLTA, you'll play a key part in delivering high-quality teaching across the school. If you're someone who thrives on variety, enjoys stepping up to lead learning, and wants to make a genuine difference across year groups, this is the opportunity for you.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Stepping in to lead lessons across all year groups (EYFS to Year 6), using pre-prepared planning to deliver meaningful learning in the teacher's absence
  • Providing focused, small-group support and interventions that help children make real progress
  • Supporting children with Special Educational Needs (SEN) both in and outside of the classroom, helping to ensure every child thrives
  • Getting hands-on with planning, assessment, and classroom organisation, working closely with teachers to enhance daily teaching and learning
  • Collaborating across the whole school team, including class teachers, SENCOs, and support staff, to deliver high-quality education for all pupils

What We're Looking For:

  • A recognised HLTA qualification or significant experience working confidently at HLTA level
  • The ability to lead whole-class learning across a range of year groups with confidence and enthusiasm
  • Flexibility and adaptability, with a can-do attitude that thrives in a busy school environment
  • Experience supporting children with SEN (highly desirable)
  • Strong communication and organisational skills, with the ability to work collaboratively as part of a team
  • Up-to-date safeguarding training or a willingness to complete it prior to starting
