Higher Level Teaching Assistant - Mathematics

We are looking to appoint a HLTA to join the Mathematics faculty to support with the progress and learning of students across all key stages. 

At Ashmole Academy, we have an excellent Mathematics department who deliver consistently outstanding results. Over 94% of our students achieve Grades 9-4 at GCSE, with nearly half getting Grades 9-7. A very high number of students go on to study A Level Mathematics. HLTAs play an integral role in supporting the department with in-class student support, faculty admin and delivering cover lessons; many HLTA’s also go on to pursue a career in teaching at the school after gaining experience in the role.

Under the direction and supervision of teaching staff, the successful candidate will also provide learning support and assistance to pupils in the classroom and may also work with small groups of pupils and on a one-to-one basis. The role of HLTA is an excellent opportunity to inspire and motivate young people throughout their secondary education.

The successful candidate may have a Maths related degree; will have a passion to inspire and maintain high quality teaching and learning and have a flexible approach to their job role. This may be suitable for candidates who are considering a career in teaching and the School Direct Programme.

We offer:

• Access to high quality career development pathways, including a personalised induction plan, with opportunities to take on additional responsibilities within a large and well-resourced school.
• Extensive professional development to ensure high quality teaching through INSET days, themed whole school meetings, support in completing national professional qualifications and departmental meetings with a focus on training.

• Flexible working opportunities at a family friendly school, which includes a Primary School on site.
• On site Starbucks as well as over 150 car park spaces and electric charging bays.
