  • About The Role

  • Join Ark St Alban's Academy as a Higher Level Teaching Assistant (HLTA) and play a pivotal role in helping every student achieve their potential.

     

    This is an exciting opportunity for an experienced and passionate education professional to provide specialist support to pupils, deliver targeted interventions, and work closely with teachers to raise achievement across the curriculum.

     

    As a HLTA, you will lead 1:1 and small-group learning programmes, support pupils with SEND and EAL needs, contribute to lesson planning and assessment, and help create an inclusive and nurturing learning environment where all students can thrive. You will also support whole-class learning, deliver activities planned by teachers, monitor progress, and provide valuable feedback to help shape future teaching and interventions.

     

    Beyond the classroom, you will act as a specialist lead within the school, share best practice with colleagues, contribute to enrichment activities and educational visits, and play an important role in promoting students' wellbeing, independence and confidence. This role is ideal for someone who is committed to transforming outcomes for young people and believes that every child deserves an excellent education, regardless of their background.

Our school prepares pupils to succeed at elite universities, with our alumni proudly representing our community at prestigious destinations including Cambridge University, Durham University and the London School of Economics.

    Safeguarding statement:
    Ark is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people in its academies. In order to meet this responsibility, its academies follow a rigorous selection process to discourage and screen out unsuitable applicants. 

    Ark requires all employees to undertake an enhanced DBS check. You are required, before appointment, to disclose any unspent conviction, cautions, reprimands or warnings under the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 (Exceptions) Order 1975. Non-disclosure may lead to termination of employment. However, disclosure of a criminal background will not necessarily debar you from employment - this will depend upon the nature of the offence(s) and when they occurred.
