Tradewind Recruitment are currently looking for an experienced Higher Level Teaching Assistant (HLTA) to join a welcoming primary school in Stockport. This is a full-time, long-term position working across KS1 and KS2.

The successful candidate will be confident taking the lead in the classroom, delivering lessons and covering PPA sessions across different year groups.

• Providing regular PPA cover for class teachers.
• Supporting pupils' learning, behaviour and development across different year groups.
• Working alongside class teachers to ensure continuity of learning.
• Taking responsibility for the classroom when covering lessons.
• Completing limited planning and marking as required.

• Holds a Level 4 Teaching Assistant qualification or an equivalent qualification.
• Previous experience working as an HLTA or in a senior TA role.
• Confident leading a class independently.
• Experience delivering lessons and PPA cover.
• Comfortable working across both KS1 and KS2.
• Strong classroom management and behaviour management skills.
• Adaptable, reliable and able to quickly build positive relationships with pupils and staff.

This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced Teaching Assistant looking to take on greater classroom responsibility within a supportive Stockport primary school, while maintaining a manageable level of planning and marking.
