Christ Church Federation in Tettenhall are seeking a Higher Level Teaching Assistant to provide cover and support across our federation but primarily based at the Infant School.

Some schools talk about making a difference. At Christ Church, you feel it the moment you walk through the door. We are a nurturing church school that is committed to providing an inclusive, high-quality education. Our school prides itself on creating a supportive and welcoming environment where every child is valued and encouraged to achieve their full potential. We are now looking for a passionate and dedicated Higher Level Teaching Assistant to join our team, primarily providing cover on the Infant site with some occasional cover on the Junior site.

Key Responsibilities:

Deliver pre‑planned learning activities and confidently cover whole classes in EYFS and Key Stage 1, following teacher guidance, school policies and statutory requirements, with flexibility to work in Key Stage 2 when required. Implement lesson plans effectively, adapting delivery to meet pupils’ needs through differentiation, support strategies and positive behaviour management, ensuring an inclusive and purposeful learning environment. Monitor and assess pupil engagement and progress during lessons, providing accurate feedback to teachers to support assessment and next steps in learning. Undertake marking of pupils’ work arising from lessons and interventions delivered, in line with school marking and feedback policies, within an agreed and reasonable amount of time allocated for this purpose. Work collaboratively with teachers and the wider staff team to ensure continuity of learning, maintain classroom routines, and respond flexibly to the operational needs of the school as directed by senior leaders.
