Higher level teaching assistant

Ready to take the next step in your education career?

A highly regarded and welcoming primary school in Loughton is looking for a confident and capable Teaching Assistant to step into a Higher Level Teaching Assistant role, covering classes across EYFS to KS2.

This is a long-term, full-time opportunity starting immediately in a school known for its supportive leadership, positive staff culture, and excellent local reputation.

No HLTA qualification? No problem.
If you’re an experienced Teaching Assistant who feels ready for more responsibility and class leadership, this could be the perfect progression role for you.

What You’ll Be Doing

Leading whole-class sessions across EYFS, KS1, and KS2

Delivering engaging pre-set lessons with confidence

Maintaining strong classroom behaviour and high expectations

Supporting pupils’ progress and keeping learning on track

Building positive relationships with children across the school

Working closely with teachers and senior leaders

What We’re Looking For

An experienced Teaching Assistant ready to step up

Confident leading a class independently

Strong behaviour management skills

Excellent rapport with children of all primary ages

Flexible, adaptable, and calm under pressure

Passionate about helping pupils succeed

Why This Role Stands Out

✨ Work across the whole primary phase – no two days the same
✨ Join a supportive, well-respected school
✨ Gain valuable leadership and classroom experience
✨ Immediate start with long-term stability
✨ A genuine opportunity to progress your career

If you’re confident, proactive, and ready to make a real impact across a primary school, we’d love to hear from you.
