Teaching Assistant

Destination Education

Are you a Teaching Assistant or HLTA looking for your next opportunity in a primary school?

At Destination Education, we’re working with a large network of primary schools across Colchester and the surrounding areas, including Wivenhoe, Manningtree, Witham, Kelvedon, Marks Tey, Chappel and Bures.

We currently have a range of full-time, part-time and flexible opportunities available, with roles starting now and further vacancies being confirmed for September.

Why work with Destination Education?
Having previously worked as a Qualified Primary Teacher, I understand first-hand what it’s like to work in a school environment — and, more importantly, what support staff actually want from their next role.

I know that finding the right school isn't simply about finding a vacancy. You want to work somewhere you feel valued, supported and appreciated, with a strong team around you.

And let's be honest — good behaviour matters!

I understand how important it is for TAs and HLTAs to work in schools with good behaviour, supportive leadership and a positive working environment. My aim is to match you with schools where you can genuinely enjoy your role and make a difference to pupils.

What can I offer you?
  • Permanent, part-time and flexible opportunities
  • Access to local primary school vacancies
  • Opportunities available for September and beyond
  • A recruiter who understands the primary school environment
  • A personal approach — I’ll take the time to understand what you’re looking for
  • Honest conversations about the schools and roles available
  • Support throughout the recruitment process
Throughout the summer, I’ll be speaking directly with Headteachers and school leaders who are looking to secure experienced TAs and HLTAs for September.

So, if you’re an experienced Teaching Assistant or HLTA based in or around Colchester, Wivenhoe, Manningtree, Witham, Kelvedon, Marks Tey, Chappel or Bures, I’d love to hear from you.

Simply reply to this email with your updated CV attached, and I’ll give you a call to discuss the vacancies I currently have available and what could be a good fit for you.

Good schools. Good behaviour. The right opportunity for you.
Best wishes,
Rhys
