Job Description
We are recruiting a confident Higher Level Teaching Assistant to step into a semi-lead role within a creative and nurturing Worcestershire primary. As an HLTA, you’ll deliver lessons in the teacher’s absence, support with small-group interventions, and play a vital role in academic planning. You’ll work closely with class teachers to deliver engaging lessons across literacy, numeracy, and topic work, while also supporting pastoral needs. This role is ideal for someone who wants greater responsibility without the full marking and admin demands of a teacher. You’ll be trusted to lead but supported every step of the way.

Lead lessons across EYFS and KS1/KS2 when required.
Deliver targeted small-group interventions.
Support with planning and marking activities.
Foster positive attitudes and independent learning.
Desired Experience
+ Qualifications
HLTA qualification or equivalent experience required.
Confident managing groups independently.
Strong communication and relationship-building skills.
Passion for creative, child-led learning.

If you’re someone who values kindness as much as curriculum, this role will feel like home.

But, I don’t want to register with a supply agency, why should I sign up with Milestone?
We get it. Supply agencies can’t always deliver exactly what you’re looking for, but that’s where we’re different…

How much does it cost and how much will I be paid?
Our services to you are completely free.
Costs will only incur if you require a new DBS or OSPC, but don't worry - we can still put you forward for interviews while the applications in process, so you won't miss out on all the exciting opportunities!
