HLTA – Outstanding Secondary School, Barnet
Start Date: ASAP | Hours: 8:30am–4:00pm | Full-Time, Long-Term | From £115 per day
Are you ready for a role where your impact is genuinely seen, valued, and celebrated? An Outstanding secondary school in Barnet is searching for a driven, confident and committed Higher Level Teaching Assistant (HLTA) to join their team from January 2026.
This is more than just another support role.
This is your opportunity to become part of a school with a truly exceptional culture. Warm, collaborative, and grounded in mutual respect.
Why This HLTA Opportunity Stands Out
You’ll play a key role across KS3 (with some KS4 involvement), delivering targeted English and study skills interventions while supporting students with SEND needs within the classroom. If you thrive when helping young people grow in confidence and independence, you will excel here.
No HLTA qualification is required. What matters is experience supporting SEND students and a commitment to helping them reach their potential.
What Makes This School Exceptional
This school is known for its remarkable sense of community and staff wellbeing. You can expect:
- An Outstanding Ofsted environment that feels inspiring, not pressured
- A leadership team who actively support and invest in their staff
- A genuinely friendly and collaborative team culture
- A meaningful emphasis on mental health and wellbeing
- A place where your voice matters and your growth is encouraged
This is the kind of school people join...and stay.
HLTA Responsibilities:
- Leading high-quality small-group and 1:1 interventions
- Supporting learners with a range of SEND needs
- Working closely with teachers to deliver engaging learning
- Helping students build key academic and study skills
- Being a consistent, trusted adult for pupils who need support and encouragement
Your contribution will have a direct impact every single day.
