Are you an experienced and confident HLTA ready to take the next step in your career? Do you thrive in a classroom environment where every day brings new opportunities to make a meaningful difference? If so, this vibrant primary school in the heart of Tuebrook is waiting to welcome you!

We are working in partnership with a friendly, inclusive school that is seeking a dedicated Higher Level Teaching Assistant to join their team as soon as possible. This is a fantastic full-time position running through to the end of the academic year, offering responsibility, variety, and the chance to play a key role in pupils’ academic and personal development.

Your Key Responsibilities

As the school’s HLTA, you will play an important part in supporting teaching and learning across the school:

• Lead and Deliver Lessons
  Take the lead on delivering pre-planned lessons across various year groups, stepping in confidently whenever needed.
• Support Class Teachers
  Assist with planning, preparing classroom resources, and ensuring lessons run smoothly and effectively.
• Provide Targeted Intervention
  Work with pupils on a 1:1 or small-group basis to raise attainment, boost confidence, and help them reach key milestones.

• A recognised HLTA qualification or substantial equivalent experience.
• Strong behaviour management and the confidence to lead learning independently.
• Excellent communication and organisational skills.
• A proactive, caring approach and a genuine passion for supporting children’s education.

Why This Role Stands Out

• Make a Wide Impact:
  Work across multiple classes and year groups—no two days will be the same!
• Collaborative School Community:
  Become part of a supportive, welcoming team committed to professional growth and pupil success.
• Development Opportunities:
  Enhance your skills, gain valuable experience, and take on greater responsibility at a school that values its staff.
• Competitive Pay:
  Attractive rates of pay with reliable, full-time work through to July.

Transport and Accessibility

Tuebrook (L13) offers excellent access routes, making your commute straightforward:

• Road: Close to the M62 and major local routes linking across Liverpool.
