Job/Person Summary

We are looking to appoint a HLTA to provide class cover for teachers during their PPA or Leadership time.

 

This is an ideal opportunity for a qualified HLTA looking for more opportunities to teach whole classes, a teacher who no longer wants the responsibility of a classroom or a teacher who is yet to secure their first teaching post. 

We are looking to appoint an enthusiastic, reliable and conscientious HLTA who will cover classes by delivering lessons set by the class teacher.   This might be as part of regular PPA release, management release time or to cover staff absence. 

We can offer:

 

• Delightful and motivated children who are keen to learn and well-behaved;
• A supportive and hardworking team;
• Continuous professional development opportunities and support from our Assistant Headteacher;
• A school which strives to support wellbeing and workload;
• Clear planning and well-resourced lessons; 

 

We are looking for someone who:

• Has HLTA qualification, teaching degree or QTS
• Has GCSE grades at least C or equivalent in English and Maths;
• Has experience of working in a primary school;
• Has experience of covering whole classes within the primary age range;
• Has the ability to deliver lessons which have been planned by a teacher, to a whole class independently;
• Is a positive and proactive member of the team;
• Has good communication and organisation skills;
• Is able to motivate and engage children as well as good behaviour management skills;
• Has a good understanding of confidentiality and safeguarding procedures.
