SANZA Teaching Agency are delighted to be working with a welcoming and ambitious primary academy in South Kenton, Brent, who are seeking to appoint an experienced Higher Level Teaching Assistant (HLTA) to provide PPA cover three days a week.

This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced HLTA, aspiring teacher or someone who has completed their teacher training and is looking to gain further classroom experience before beginning their ECT induction.

The school is a teacher training school, making this a particularly attractive opportunity for candidates who are considering a career in teaching or would like to develop their confidence and classroom practice before taking on their own class.

With a competitive daily rate of £130 - £140 and a three-day working week, this role offers a fantastic opportunity to gain valuable teaching experience within a supportive primary school environment.

The Role

As the HLTA / PPA Cover Teacher, you will be responsible for delivering lessons across the primary school while class teachers undertake their planning, preparation and assessment (PPA) time.

This position would suit someone who is confident leading a classroom independently, enjoys working with different year groups and is looking to develop their teaching skills.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Delivering planned lessons across different primary year groups during teachers' PPA time.

• Leading whole-class teaching and maintaining a positive learning environment.

• Following lesson plans and ensuring pupils remain engaged and focused.

• Adapting teaching approaches to support pupils with different abilities and learning needs.

• Managing classroom behaviour effectively and maintaining established routines.

• Supporting pupils with their academic progress, confidence and independence.

• Working closely with class teachers and other school staff to ensure continuity of learning.

• Providing feedback to teachers following lessons.

• Creating an inclusive and encouraging classroom environment.

The School

The position is based within a primary academy in South Kenton, Brent, North West London.

The school is part of a well-established academy trust and places a strong emphasis on high-quality teaching, pupil achievement and creating a nurturing learning environment.

The academy is committed to helping children develop confidence, resilience and a positive attitude towards learning.

One of the particularly attractive aspects of this opportunity is that the school is involved in teacher training, making it an excellent environment for candidates looking to develop their teaching experience.

The school offers:

• A welcoming and inclusive primary school environment.

• A strong focus on high-quality teaching and learning.

• An emphasis on positive behaviour, respect and pupil development.

• A collaborative approach to education and professional development.

• The opportunity to gain experience across different primary year groups.

• A valuable setting for aspiring teachers and those preparing to begin their ECT induction.

Why This Role Is Ideal for Aspiring Teachers

If you are considering becoming a primary teacher, have recently completed teacher training or are waiting to begin your first ECT position, this could be an excellent opportunity.

Working as an HLTA providing PPA cover allows you to gain hands-on experience delivering lessons, managing classrooms and developing your own teaching style without taking on the full responsibilities of a permanent class teacher.

You will have the opportunity to:

• Build confidence delivering whole-class lessons independently.

• Gain experience teaching across different primary year groups.

• Develop your classroom management and behaviour strategies.

• Strengthen your understanding of the primary curriculum.

• Gain valuable experience before beginning your ECT induction.

• Develop practical teaching skills within a teacher training school.

• Enjoy a three-day working week while continuing to build your experience.

The Ideal Candidate

The school is looking for a confident, enthusiastic and reliable individual who enjoys working with primary-aged children and can take responsibility for leading lessons.

The successful candidate will ideally have:

• HLTA status, completed teacher training or relevant experience delivering whole-class lessons.

• Previous experience working within a primary school.

• Confidence managing a classroom independently.

• A good understanding of the primary curriculum.

• Strong behaviour management and communication skills.

• The ability to follow lesson plans and adapt activities where necessary.
