HLTA with EAL Experience for Bradford Primary Schools

Bradford, West Yorkshire

Have you helped a child go from a few words of English to joining in with the class? Bradford primary schools need HLTAs who can plan language rich sessions and cover classes with confidence.

About the Role

Many classrooms across Bradford include children learning English alongside everything else. You will combine class cover during PPA with targeted groups for new arrivals and early stage EAL learners. That means building vocabulary through talk, pictures and practical activities, and helping teachers adapt tasks so every pupil can access the lesson. You will also keep track of progress in spoken and written English. Bookings are long term, which lets you see the difference week by week. Work covers areas such as Manningham, Girlington, Allerton and Thornton. A second community language is welcome but not essential. What matters most is patience and a good ear for how children pick up language.

Key Responsibilities

  • Run small groups for new arrivals and early stage EAL learners
  • Cover classes from the teacher's plans during PPA
  • Build vocabulary through talk, visuals and practical tasks
  • Help teachers adapt work so EAL pupils can join in
  • Track progress in spoken and written English

Requirements

  • HLTA status, or experience working at that level
  • Experience with EAL learners in primary
  • Confidence teaching a whole class

  • A dedicated consultant on 0113 460 1938 who knows the district
  • Long term days arranged around your availability
