Higher Level Teaching Assistant

County: North East London
Job type: Contract
Salary/Rate: £100 - £120
Higher Level Teaching Assistant: Havering £100 - £120 per day (Temp to Perm) Step into a vibrant, welcoming environment where children’s colourful work is proudly displayed, and natural light fills the classrooms. This is not just a beautiful space, it is a mainstream primary school where your skills, enthusiasm, and commitment will be respected. As an experienced HLTA, your confidence in planning and delivering lessons will be utilised regularly as you step up to cover teacher’s PPA, and run classes yourself. You will be provided with the resources needed for you to be able to support some of the most vulnerable children. Your experience working with young people with SEMH, Autism, behavioural difficulties and social communication needs, will stand you in good stead as you develop within the role. It goes without saying that in many schools, time can feel like a luxury. However, within this ‘Good’ school with a well-established SEN provision, dedicated spaces for interventions, and access to activity materials, you'll have the time you need to excel at the job you love. The Senior Leadership Team are passionate about providing pathways for their staff to pursue personal career goals, and ensure they provide comprehensive training and learning experiences to aspiring teachers. The role is initially on a contract basis, leading to a likely permanent position after you have had two terms to embed yourself in both the role and the culture of the school. If you feel this role or indeed similar roles are something that interest you, I would be delighted to have a conversation and discuss how I can support you with the right ‘next steps’ for your career. elisha@psinclusion.co.uk

Business and Finance Manager, Special Needs School in Surrey

Review one – At the start of the year, we had a real issue with a large number of Teaching Assistant vacancies (12 vacancies) and a high level of sickness absence. I was tasked with engaging in widening our search for new agencies and sourcing better quality candidates to work with our rather unique learners. I made contact with Parker Smith Inclusion in 2023 and was introduced to Heeji Moon, London Team Manager. Heeji was very knowledgeable about the current market and was confident she could assist in sourcing some suitable candidates. Heeji came to visit the school that very day to get a real flavour of the school, and she spent time in the classrooms, spoke to teachers and met some of our young people. She had a tour of the school and ascertained all local transport links, access to the school, security, parking facilities etc. With this information, Heeji not only managed to sell our school to potential candidates but also secured very suitable candidates. We have had every staff provided by Parker Smith Inclusion and some of which have shifted over to become permanent. The company’s vetting system is very clear, effective and seems quicker than other agents we have engaged with. I have found their rates very competitive; the company ethos is ethical and transparent, and they have been a pleasure to work with. Business and Finance Manager at Special Needs School in Surrey

Andrew, Teacher

Super positivity, and quick responses. After dealing with some less caring companies, where you receive little support and feedback, it was a refreshing change to deal with Parker Smith Inclusion. Caitlin was both extremely helpful and contagiously excited about finding the right position for me. Give them a ring, and see how a recruitment company should work.

Imara - Kai, Teacher

I worked with Parker Smith Inclusion to find a work placement. The staff are friendly and thorough, going above and beyond to support and assist. I worked directly with Elise. After passing the relevant information, she had my professional profile ready to be sent out in less than 24 hours and got my placement in less than a week. I’m ecstatic with the outcome and grateful to the team for their help.

They took into consideration everything that I was looking for from the first phone call. Such a welcoming and helpful team, Louisa and Emilie have been amazing and I can’t wait to start my new role. 100% recommend!!
