Or you could be looking for a school where you can develop your skills and start taking the next step towards HLTA-level work.
Luma Education is looking for enthusiastic and capable Teaching and Learning Support Assistants to work within a forward-thinking educational setting in Chigwell, Essex.
With opportunities ranging from classroom and SEND support through to Higher Level Teaching Assistant responsibilities for suitably experienced candidates, this could be an excellent next move if you're ready to build on what you already know.

- Supporting pupils with SEND and individual learning plans.
- Encouraging communication, confidence and participation.
- Helping pupils become increasingly independent.
- Supporting positive behaviour and engagement.
- Working closely with teachers to identify where additional support is needed.
- Taking greater responsibility for learning activities where your experience and qualifications allow.
Previous experience working with children or young people within an educational setting would be particularly valuable.
We're looking for people who can build positive relationships with pupils while remaining adaptable enough to recognise that the same approach won't work for every child.
You’ll ideally bring:
- Strong communication and relationship-building skills.
- A patient and encouraging approach.
- Confidence working both independently and as part of a classroom team.
- An understanding of SEND or additional learning needs.
- Creativity when adapting activities and resources.

With £107-£140 per day available depending on your experience and responsibilities, this isn't simply an opportunity to find another classroom-support role.
It's an opportunity to develop your experience, discover where your strengths can take you and potentially progress towards greater responsibility within education.
