Are you a passionate and experienced education professional looking to take the next step in your career? 4myschools is currently recruiting for a dedicated Higher Level Teaching Assistant (HLTA) to join a welcoming and forward-thinking school in the Billericay area. This is an exciting opportunity to become part of a supportive team that is committed to providing an engaging, inclusive, and nurturing learning environment where every child is encouraged to develop confidence, resilience, and a love of learning. The school places a strong emphasis on high-quality teaching, pupil wellbeing, and creating opportunities for all learners to succeed regardless of their starting point. As a Higher Level Teaching Assistant, you will play a pivotal role in supporting teaching and learning across the school. Working closely with class teachers and senior leaders, you will deliver planned lessons during teacher absence, lead intervention groups, and provide targeted support to pupils who require additional guidance to reach their full potential. You will support pupils across a range of abilities and may also work with children who have Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND), including autism, ADHD, speech and language needs, and social, emotional, and mental health challenges. Responsibilities will include adapting learning activities to meet individual needs, monitoring pupil progress, supporting behaviour management strategies, assisting with assessment activities, and helping to maintain a positive and inclusive classroom environment.
