Teaching Personnel is delighted to be working with a charming village primary school in East Devon to recruit a dedicated Higher Level Teaching Assistant (HLTA). This unique setting has just two mixed-age classes across the entire school, creating a close-knit, family feel where every member of staff plays an important role in the success of its pupils.

  • Is confident leading lessons and supporting mixed-age learning
  • Demonstrates excellent communication and organisational skills
  • Is adaptable, enthusiastic and committed to helping children achieve their potential
  • Thrives in a small-school environment where teamwork is essential
  • Competitive daily rates paid weekly
  • Ongoing support from a dedicated local consultant
  • Access to free and discounted CPD opportunities
  • Potential for a long-term or permanent position
  • Straightforward registration process and continued support throughout your placement

This role would suit an experienced Teaching Assistant ready to step up into a HLTA position, or an established HLTA seeking a rewarding opportunity within a welcoming and supportive village school.
