Job description

At Oak Tree Primary School, every child matters — and every member of our team plays a vital role in helping them reach their full potential. We’re looking for a passionate and motivated HigherLevel Teaching Assistant (HLTA) to join our dedicated staff and make a real difference to children’s lives every single day.

As part of Durrington Multi Academy Trust, we are proud to be part of a collaborative and forward-thinking community that believes in high standards, professional growth, and a shared moral purpose. At Oak Tree, kindness, curiosity, and respect underpin everything we do — for our pupils, our families, and one another.

In this exciting role, you’ll work closely with teachers to deliver engaging lessons, lead small group and whole-class learning, and provide targeted support that helps every child thrive.

You’ll be a positive role model who builds strong relationships, promotes inclusion, and encourages children to become confident, independent learners.

In return, you’ll be part of a school that believes in investing in its people, celebrating success, and creating a joyful place to learn and work.

If you’re enthusiastic, flexible, and committed to making a lasting difference, we’d love to hear from you.
