A Typical Day May Include

• Covering lessons in the absence of the class teacher
• Delivering planned lessons across a range of subjects
• Supporting pupils' learning across the curriculum
• Leading intervention groups to boost attainment
• Assisting with planning and preparation of resources
• Managing classroom behaviour effectively
• Providing feedback to teachers on pupil progress
• Supporting wider school activities where required

Who We're Looking For

• Essential: HLTA qualification or equivalent recognised qualification
• Essential: recent and relevant UK-based experience in a primary school setting
• Experience covering classes and delivering lessons
• Strong classroom and behaviour management skills
• A confident, proactive, and adaptable approach
• Excellent communication and teamwork skills
• Enhanced DBS on the Update Service (or willingness to apply)

Benefits of Working with Teaching Personnel

• Competitive weekly pay, paid via PAYE with no umbrella deductions
• Access to a wide range of full-time, part-time, long-term, and permanent opportunities
• Support in securing roles for the September academic year
• A dedicated personal consultant offering ongoing support and career guidance
• Access to free CPD courses and professional development opportunities
• Opportunities to gain experience across a variety of school settings
• Support with CV writing, interview preparation, and career progression
• Pension contributions (subject to eligibility)
• Quick and efficient registration process
• Strong relationships with local schools across Cambridgeshire
• Consistent opportunities for experienced and reliable HLTAs
