From February 2026, we are seeking an enthusiastic, flexible Higher Level Teaching Assistant (HLTA) to join our staff team and cover a permanent vacancy. The successful candidate will provide high-quality classroom cover for teachers’ PPA time and subject leadership release. While this is not a qualified teacher role, the HLTA will be expected to deliver pre-planned lessons confidently and support learning across the school. The role could also suit a qualified teacher who is looking for a different role to a full-time classroom teacher or an ECT looking to get valuable teaching experience.

 

We are particularly interested in applicants who have a subject specialism and who could lead Forest School sessions, or who are willing to undertake training to deliver high-quality Forest School learning. This is a full-time position.
