HLTA for PPA and Planned Class Cover in Leeds

Leeds, West Yorkshire

Do you hold HLTA status, or already teach whole classes at that level, and want a settled week? Primary schools across Leeds and the surrounding area need HLTAs to take classes while teachers plan, assess and lead.

About the Role

Teachers only get their planning time if someone capable can take the class. That is where you come in. You will deliver lessons the teacher has already planned, keep routines and behaviour in line with the school's own approach, and leave notes that make it easy for the teacher to pick up again. Bookings are usually set days each week, so pupils get to know you and you get to know them. On days when no cover is needed, you may run interventions or support groups instead. Requests come from all over the city, from Headingley and Kirkstall out to Garforth and Wetherby. Let us know how far you are happy to travel and which year groups you enjoy most.

Key Responsibilities

  • Teach planned lessons to whole classes during PPA and release time
  • Keep behaviour and routines consistent with the school's policy
  • Assess work against the teacher's objectives
  • Leave clear handover notes at the end of each session
  • Run interventions on days without cover

Requirements

  • HLTA status, or solid experience teaching whole classes
  • Confidence with the primary curriculum across KS1 and KS2
  • Good behaviour management with a full class
  • Able to offer regular set days
  • All roles are subject to an Enhanced DBS with Children's Barred List check, references and right to work checks.

What We Offer

  • Pay of £100 to £145 per day, by experience
  • Your own consultant on the Yorkshire desk, 0113 460 1938
  • Regular planned days arranged around your availability
  • Help with your checks and no fees to you
  • Consideration for other HLTA and cover roles
