Job Title:

Permanent HLTA - ESOL, Maths and English Support

Location: Canning Town, East London
Contract: Permanent, full time
Hours: Monday to Friday
Salary: £30,000+ per year
Setting: College

Remedy Education are working with a welcoming college in Canning Town who are looking for a permanent HLTA to support learners across ESOL, Functional Skills, Maths and English.

This is a full-time, permanent position supporting students who may need additional help with communication, literacy, numeracy and confidence in learning. The college works with a wide range of learners, including ESOL students, asylum seekers, young people and adults with low functional skills, and learners who may require additional support in the classroom.

The role would suit someone who is confident supporting students on a 1:1 and small group basis, particularly learners who need clear instructions, patience, structure and encouragement. You will be helping students access lessons, build their confidence and develop the skills they need for education, employment and everyday life.

You do not need to have experience in every area, but you must be confident working with learners who require extra support and may have barriers to learning.

You will need to be calm, patient and able to adapt your communication to suit different learners. Some students may have limited English, low confidence, gaps in education or additional learning needs, so the college are looking for someone who can build positive relationships and help learners feel supported.

The ideal candidate:
