New opening! Flexible Supply Higher Level Teaching Assistants (HLTAs) – North West Suffolk | 1–5 Days per Week – Saxmundham

At 4myschools, we’re working closely with a trust of primary schools in North West Suffolk to build a reliable, high-quality pool of HLTAs ready for the new academic year. These schools are looking for confident, experienced support staff who can step in seamlessly, whether that’s leading learning, supporting class teachers, or keeping lessons on track when needed. If you enjoy the variety that supply work offers but still want regular opportunities within a well-organised network of schools, this is a great opportunity to get involved. The demand across the trust is varied and consistent, so we’re looking to connect with HLTAs who are comfortable working across different year groups and school environments. Cover will include delivering pre-planned lessons, leading targeted interventions, supporting whole class learning, and stepping up to cover lessons during teacher absence. There’s also scope to support pupils with additional needs, meaning this role suits individuals who can confidently adapt their approach to meet a range of learning styles and abilities. You’ll be joining schools that value strong teamwork, clear communication and a calm, positive approach to learning, where your contribution will genuinely make a difference to day-to-day classroom continuity. Assignments are available from 1 to 5 days per week, giving you full control over how often you work. Working hours are typically 8:30am–3:30pm, Monday to Friday, term time only. This is an ongoing opportunity for the full academic year, offering a strong balance between flexibility and consistency, with the chance to build relationships across a number of schools within the trust.
