Truro, Cornwall, United Kingdom Long-term Teachers Full time


A lovely primary school in Truro are looking for a skilled and confident Higher Level Teaching Assistant to join their KS2 team. This role is ideal for someone who is enthusiastic, proactive and committed to supporting children's learning and wellbeing. The ideal candidate will already hold a relevant Level 6 qualification or an equivalent award and have experience leading whole class learning with confidence and creativity.

The successful candidate will be able to work dynamically as part of a year group team, supporting pupils 1:1, in small groups and across whole classes. You will bring strong communication skills, an ability to use your own initiative and a flexible approach suited to a busy and rewarding school environment.

Effective behaviour management, rooted in empathy, nurture and an inclusive approach, is essential. You will support pupils with their academic progress as well as their SEMH development, helping them thrive throughout the school day.

This role includes leading lessons planned by class teachers, delivering small-group interventions and supporting children with a range of additional needs. You will work closely with teachers and support staff to create a positive, collaborative and enjoyable learning atmosphere where every child can succeed.

The sense of community is genuine and deeply embedded in the day-to-day life of the staff. It is a setting where colleagues feel valued, supported and part of something meaningful. Staff wellbeing is prioritised, professional development is encouraged and the leadership team is committed to helping every member of staff flourish. It is the kind of school where people build long-term careers because they feel appreciated, trusted and inspired by the children and team around them. This is a rare opportunity to join a school community that not only supports pupils to thrive, but supports its staff just as wholeheartedly.
