Do you believe every child deserves someone in their corner cheering them on? Love those lightbulb moments when a little learner suddenly gets it? Then keep reading. We’re on the lookout for a brilliant HLTA to join a warm, welcoming Key Stage 1 team in BS6. This is the kind of role where no two days are the same; one minute you’re helping with phonics, the next you’re building confidence, calming worries, or celebrating a child writing their very first sentence independently. If you’re nurturing, energetic, creative and ready to make a genuine difference, we’d love to hear from you.
