HLTA New

Some children need someone who believes in them.

Some teachers need someone they can rely on.

Every great school needs an outstanding Higher Level Teaching Assistant.

If you're someone who loves supporting children, enjoys the variety of working across different year groups and feels confident leading learning when needed, this could be the opportunity you've been waiting for.

Teaching Personnel is proud to be working alongside a welcoming and supportive mainstream primary school in Lancaster that is looking to appoint a full-time HLTA from September 2026.

This is far more than a classroom support role. You'll become a valued member of the school team, helping children grow in confidence, covering classes when required, delivering engaging interventions and working alongside teachers to ensure every pupil has the best possible learning experience.

Every day is different, but your role may include:

Delivering engaging lessons during teacher PPA time and planned absences.

Supporting pupils across EYFS, KS1 and KS2.

⭐ Running small group and one-to-one interventions.

Helping children overcome barriers to learning.

✨ Working closely with teachers and senior leaders to provide the very best outcomes for pupils.

• Hold HLTA status or have extensive experience working within a UK primary school.
• Feel confident leading whole-class learning.
• Are positive, adaptable and enjoy working as part of a team.
• Build strong relationships with both children and colleagues.
• Want to make a genuine difference every single day.

At Teaching Personnel, we know that finding the right school is about more than just location. It's about finding somewhere you'll feel welcomed, supported and excited to go to each morning.

When you work with us, you'll receive:

✔ Competitive weekly PAYE pay.
✔ A dedicated consultant who will support you throughout your journey.
✔ Free CPD and training opportunities to continue developing your skills.
✔ Access to long-term and permanent opportunities across Dorset.
✔ Friendly, honest support from the UK's leading education recruitment agency.

If you're ready to join a school where your experience, enthusiasm and commitment will truly be appreciated, we'd love to hear from you.
