Hlta

Are you committed to making a difference in a rapidly improving school? If so, we are looking for an enthusiastic and dedicated HLTA to join us!

Our higher level teaching assistants are fulfilled by the idea of making even the smallest positive changes in our young people, so we celebrate the little things. You’ll be there to help children learn, develop their abilities and raise their self-esteem. You will need to be resilient and dedicated, but those small victories that you achieve will be something you’re really proud of.
