Glen Hills is a welcoming, community centred school where every child is valued as an individual. Our motto, “education today for tomorrow”, shapes the way we work every day. We are proud of our friendly, happy atmosphere, our strong relationships with families, and our dedicated staff who work together to make the school a place where children feel safe, confident and excited about learning. We place a strong emphasis on excellent teaching in English and Maths, but we also believe in developing the whole child emotionally, socially, academically and personally.

From August 2026, we are looking for a high quality HLTA to join our experienced team and help us continue delivering the strong outcomes and nurturing environment at Glen Hills. This role is ideal for experienced HLTAs seeking a new challenge, or for qualified teachers who enjoy teaching and working with children but are looking for a role with a different balance of responsibilities. It allows you to focus on high quality classroom delivery and supporting learning, without the wider workload associated with a full teaching post.

This is an important role within our classroom team. You’ll deliver whole class teaching across the school (both timetabled and ad hoc), support small group learning, and contribute to interventions that help children make the best progress possible.

We would be delighted to show you around Glen Hills. The best way to understand our school is to see our enthusiastic children and our calm, purposeful environment in action.
