Summary

Confident Communicator? Great with Young People?

Looking for Flexible, Rewarding Work?

Location: Barking & Dagenham
£115/day (inc. holiday pay)
Start: September 2025 | Flexible Schedule

We're looking for a confident, adaptable individual with experience in public speaking or working with young people to join a welcoming secondary school as a:

Higher Level Teaching Assistant (HLTA) / Cover Supervisor

This is a flexible, well-paid opportunity ideal for someone calm under pressure, great with people, and keen to make a real impact in a school environment.

What You'll Do

As part of a small, supportive cover team, you'll step in for absent teachers and deliver engaging, pre-planned lessons. Each day is different, and your responsibilities will include:

  • Leading lessons for students aged 11-18 (up to 25 per class)
  • Creating a positive, focused learning atmosphere
  • Managing behaviour confidently and respectfully
  • Supporting students' learning with initiative and energy

Who This Role Suits

We welcome applicants from a variety of backgrounds-whether you're a youth worker, actor, coach, presenter, or already working in education. You'll thrive if you have:

  • Confidence in leading and managing groups
  • Clear communication and strong interpersonal skills
  • Experience in teaching, training, coaching or similar
  • A subject specialism (a plus, not a requirement)

Prior experience as a Cover Supervisor or HLTA is helpful, but not essential. What matters most is your ability to connect with students and lead a classroom.

What You'll Get

  • £115 per day (includes 12.07% holiday pay)
  • Flexible rota - work only when you're available
  • Start in September 2025
  • Supportive school environment in a friendly team

Interested? Let's Talk.

Send your CV and we'll be in touch shortly.
