Higher Level Teaching Assistant (HLTA) – Key Stage 1 | BS15

Protocol Education is working in partnership with a number of welcoming primary schools across BS15 to recruit experienced and confident Higher Level Teaching Assistants (HLTAs) who are passionate about supporting children in Key Stage 1.

This is a fantastic opportunity for HLTAs who enjoy helping young learners develop the essential skills they need to succeed. From supporting early reading, writing and maths to building confidence, independence and a love of learning, you'll play a vital role in helping pupils flourish during these important early years of primary school.

Working closely with class teachers, you'll deliver targeted interventions, lead learning when required, and provide consistent support that enables every child to reach their full potential. Whether you're looking for long-term consistency or the flexibility of shorter-term assignments, we'll help you find opportunities that suit your experience, strengths and availability.
