Higher Level Teaching Assistant (HLTA) in Wirral (Long-term Supply)
Wirral, Merseyside
Wirral primaries look for HLTAs who can hold PPA cover and lead literacy or maths interventions for a sustained block. We match senior TAs with schools that want one familiar adult for a half term or longer.
About the Role
In this long-term HLTA supply role you will take greater ownership than a standard TA. Expect planned cover, small group literacy or maths boosts, and close work with phase leaders. You stay with one Wirral setting for a meaningful block of time rather than bouncing between day bookings, with placements focused around West Kirby, Bebington and Moreton.
Key Responsibilities
- Deliver PPA and short term class cover under agreed school plans
- Lead targeted intervention groups for literacy, numeracy or phonics
- Model inclusive practice and support colleagues with classroom routines
- Contribute to planning meetings and pupil progress discussions
- Maintain professional records so cover and interventions hand over smoothly
Requirements
- HLTA status or equivalent senior TA experience with cover responsibility
- Strong classroom presence and behaviour management
- Enhanced DBS with Children's Barred List check (Update Service preferred)
- Able to commit to a long-term Wirral booking across West Kirby, Bebington or Moreton
- Right to work in the UK
What We Offer
- £100 to £145 per day depending on experience and setting
- Longer placements that give real continuity in one school
- Local Merseyside desk support on 0151 404 9965
- Clear KCSIE and safer recruitment process before start
- Insight into upcoming HLTA and cover supervisor openings in Merseyside
