Primary Higher Level Teaching Assistant Job Attleborough Norfolk

Job start date: 01/09/2026 | Pay: £100 - £115 Per DAY  | School type: Primary School

New opportunity! Primary Higher Level Teaching Assistant – Attleborough

4myschools are currently recruiting passionate and adaptable Primary Higher Level Teaching Assistants (HLTAs) to work within a range of welcoming and supportive primary schools in Attleborough and the surrounding areas. We are offering both flexible daily supply work and rewarding long-term placements, making this an excellent opportunity for experienced HLTAs looking to broaden their experience while maintaining control over their work-life balance. As a Primary HLTA, you will play a vital role in supporting teaching and learning across EYFS, Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2. You will be responsible for leading whole-class lessons during teacher absences, delivering pre-planned learning activities, and ensuring pupils remain engaged, motivated and focused throughout the school day. Working closely with class teachers and senior leaders, you will support the delivery of a broad and balanced curriculum while helping pupils to achieve their academic and personal potential. The role offers significant variety, with opportunities to provide targeted intervention support, lead small group activities, and work one-to-one with pupils who require additional assistance. You may be supporting children with a range of learning needs, including SEND, helping to adapt learning resources and strategies to ensure all pupils can access the curriculum successfully. Strong behaviour management skills will be essential as you create a positive and inclusive classroom environment where children feel supported, valued and encouraged to succeed. Whether working on a daily supply basis or within a longer-term assignment, you will become an important part of each school community, building positive relationships with pupils, staff and parents. This role is ideal for individuals who thrive in different educational settings and enjoy the challenge and reward that comes from supporting children across a range of age groups and abilities. Daily supply work provides flexibility and variety, while long-term positions offer the opportunity to develop deeper relationships within a school and contribute consistently to pupils’ progress and achievement. Attleborough schools continue to seek talented support staff who can demonstrate initiative, resilience and a genuine passion for education. This role offers the chance to make a meaningful difference every day while developing your own skills and experience across a variety of primary settings.

• Contract duration: Supply Teacher, Temporary (Short Term)
• Contract type: PART_TIME – Hours: 08:30-3.:30

Who we are looking for

The ideal candidate should be committed  and capable working with pupils in a Primary School setting.

The successful applicant will be someone who can build positive relationships, adapt to different classroom environments, and support pupils with a range of learning needs.

The successful applicant will have previous experience working within a primary school setting as a HLTA, Teaching Assistant, Learning Support Assistant or Cover Supervisor, with the confidence to lead classes independently when required. A recognised HLTA qualification is desirable; however, candidates with substantial classroom experience and a proven ability to support teaching and learning across the primary age range will also be strongly considered. Applicants must hold a minimum of GCSE Grade 4/C (or equivalent) in both English and Maths. A sound understanding of the primary curriculum, including EYFS, KS1 and KS2, is essential, alongside the ability to deliver engaging learning activities and support pupils with varying learning needs. Experience working with children with SEND, including autism, ADHD, speech and language difficulties, SEMH needs or other additional learning requirements, would be highly advantageous. The ideal candidate will be flexible, reliable, organised and able to quickly adapt to different classroom environments. Strong communication skills, excellent behaviour management and a proactive approach to supporting children’s development are key qualities for success in this role. Due to travel requirements between schools in Attleborough and nearby locations, access to reliable transport is highly desirable. Candidates should be available to work between 8:30am and 3:30pm, Monday to Friday during term time, either on a flexible daily supply basis, within long-term placements, or a combination of both.
