Higher Level Teaching Assistant

rimary HLTA

North West London | £125 - £140 per day | Full-Time | September 2026 Start

Are you an experienced Teaching Assistant ready for the next step?

Are you a graduate considering teacher training and looking to gain invaluable classroom experience before stepping into the profession?

SANZA Teaching Agency is delighted to be supporting a welcoming and ambitious primary school in North West London in the recruitment of a talented Higher Level Teaching Assistant (HLTA) for September 2025.

This is far more than a traditional support role. The successful candidate will become an integral member of the school team, delivering lessons, leading interventions and gaining the kind of hands-on classroom experience that many aspiring teachers spend years trying to secure.

The school is known for investing heavily in its staff and has a strong track record of supporting support staff and graduates into teacher training programmes and long-term educational careers.

The Role

As a HLTA, you will enjoy a varied and rewarding position, including:

✔ Delivering pre-planned lessons across Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2

✔ Covering classes during teacher PPA time and staff absence

✔ Leading targeted intervention groups in English and Maths

✔ Supporting pupils of varying abilities to achieve their full potential

✔ Working closely with class teachers to support learning and pupil progress

✔ Helping to maintain a positive, engaging and purposeful learning environment

✔ Building strong relationships with pupils, families and colleagues

✔ Contributing to the wider life of a vibrant school community

This role offers genuine classroom responsibility and is ideal for someone who enjoys taking initiative and making a real impact.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

Many schools talk about progression. This school actively creates it.

Staff are encouraged to develop professionally, take on responsibility and explore long-term career pathways within education.

Whether your ambition is to become a qualified teacher, develop your leadership skills or simply work within a school that values professional growth, this is an environment where you can genuinely thrive.

You'll be joining a team that combines high expectations with exceptional support, creating a positive atmosphere for both pupils and staff.

Have experience delivering lessons or leading groups of pupils
