Higher Level Teaching Assistant (HLTA) – Graduate Opportunity

Ready to take your first step towards a career in teaching, educational psychology or school leadership?

Are you a high-achieving graduate or aspiring HLTA looking for a full-time school-based role where you can make a genuine impact? Would you thrive in a modern learning environment that champions innovation, technology and personalised learning?

KPI Education is delighted to be recruiting on behalf of an exceptional independent school in Coventry for a Higher Level Teaching Assistant (HLTA) to join their team from September.

This is an outstanding opportunity for graduates considering a future in teaching, educational psychology, SEND, speech & language therapy or wider education. You'll gain invaluable classroom experience while working alongside experienced teachers and support staff in a school renowned for its forward-thinking approach to education.

The Role

• Support pupils across Key Stages through engaging learning activities
• Deliver targeted interventions with individuals and small groups
• Provide occasional whole-class cover when required
• Work closely with teachers to plan and deliver high-quality learning
• Help students develop confidence, independence and academic success
• Build meaningful relationships with pupils, parents and colleagues
• Gain first-class preparation for teacher training or postgraduate study

The Ideal Candidate

• A 2:1 or above in any degree subject (Education, Psychology, English, Maths, Science or Humanities preferred)
• Passionate about working with young people
• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills
• Confident leading small groups and supporting classroom learning

• Monday–Friday, term-time focused
• Outstanding training and mentoring from experienced educators
• State‑of‑the‑art learning environment with excellent facilities
