Are you an experienced Higher Level Teaching Assistant (HLTA) or a Cover Supervisor looking for a highly rewarding role in Blackburn?

We are recruiting a resilient, passionate HLTA to join a dedicated Alternative Provision (AP) team. This position is ideal for an education professional who thrives outside the traditional mainstream environment and excels at re-engaging pupils who have faced barriers to learning, including SEMH (Social, Emotional and Mental Health) needs and SEN (Special Educational Needs).

If you are looking for a role with greater autonomy-where you can lead classes, design interventions, and make a genuine impact-this is the perfect step for your education career.
