Job description
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–style 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.
