๐ŸŽฏ Looking for a role where your experience really counts?

We’re on the lookout for a brilliant HLTA to join our primary team. If you’re the calm in the classroom chaos, the person teachers turn to when they need backup, and the kind of person kids remember for all the right reasons—you might just be our perfect match.

๐Ÿงก Why this role?

  • Real flexibility: long-term, short-term, or permanent—your call.

  • Confidence supporting KS1 and KS2 learning

  • A warm, proactive approach that kids and teachers love

  • Ability to lead small groups or whole-class sessions when needed

๐ŸŽ“ Extras that go a long way:

  • Thrive trained? Brilliant! Not yet? We’ll pay for it. Thrive training boosts your impact in the classroom—and schools love it.

โœ… You’ll also get:

  • Weekly pay through PAYE 

  • Access to Protocol’s online CPD Academy (free!)

  • Friendly support from your own dedicated consultant

  • Flexibility to choose your days

  • AWR-compliant pay and working conditions

๐Ÿ”’ And yes—safeguarding is serious business for us. That’s why we’ll carry out detailed checks and you’ll need (or be ready to get) an Enhanced DBS registered to the Update Service.
