Higher Level Teaching Assistant HLTA Key Stage 2

Higher Level Teaching Assistant (HLTA) / Early Career Teacher (ECT) Wythenshawe | Full-Time | September 2026 Start

Are you a qualified HLTA or an Early Career Teacher (ECT) looking to further develop your classroom practice within a supportive primary school?

Aspire People is delighted to be working in partnership with a welcoming 1.5 form entry Primary School in Wythenshawe, who are looking to appoint a dedicated Higher Level Teaching Assistant to join their team on a full-time basis from September.

This is a fantastic opportunity to play a key role in supporting the school's Year 6 cohort, leading learning, delivering targeted interventions and helping pupils prepare for SATs within a collaborative and supportive teaching team.

The Role

Working closely with the Year 6 team, you will:

• Lead PPA cover across the year group.
• Plan and deliver high-quality intervention groups and SATs booster sessions.
• Support pupils to close learning gaps and maximise progress.
• Deliver engaging learning to whole classes, small groups and individual pupils.
• Work alongside experienced teachers to monitor progress and adapt learning to meet pupils' needs.

This opportunity is suitable for candidates who:

• Hold a recognised HLTA qualification or a higher qualification, such as Qualified Teacher Status (QTS).
• Have experience working within a primary school setting.
• Have a good understanding of the Key Stage 2 curriculum, ideally including Year 6.
• Can confidently lead whole-class learning and targeted intervention groups.
• Are organised, enthusiastic and committed to helping pupils achieve their full potential.

This role would also be an excellent opportunity for an Early Career Teacher (ECT) who has recently completed their teacher training and is looking to further develop their classroom practice before embarking on their first full teaching role. Working alongside an experienced and supportive teaching team, you'll have the opportunity to strengthen your confidence in planning, behaviour management, assessment and intervention delivery while gaining invaluable experience within a Year 6 setting.

The School

This friendly and inclusive 1.5 form entry primary school has a strong community ethos and a supportive leadership team who are committed to developing their staff as well as their pupils. You'll become part of a collaborative environment where professional development is encouraged and every member of the team is valued.

The school is conveniently located in Wythenshawe, with excellent access via the motorway network and within walking distance of Newall Green Metrolink stop.
