Teaching Assistant - KS1 - September Start

Hurlingham Prep School is delighted to be able to invite applications for a KS1 Teaching Assistant. The appointment will commence September 2026.

The successful candidate will be an exemplary educational practitioner who will embrace the core values of Hurlingham, and be a highly qualified, dynamic and caring teaching assistant, who is keen to work collaboratively with colleagues and to play an active role in the life of the whole school.

Our vision for the school is to establish a learning community where we are viewed as “more than just a school”, where learning is at the heart for all; pupils, staff and parents. A culture of personal development and collaborative endeavour which is innovative, pushes boundaries and puts no ceiling on possibilities. We were proud to be announced as a finalist for 'Best Pre-Prep School of the Year' category in the Independent School of the Year Awards (ISOTY) 2025. This recognition builds on our recent Independent Schools Inspectorate (ISI) judgement of a ‘Significant Strength’ for our Early Years provision.

The deadline for applications is midday on 11th March 2026. Applications will be considered as they are received and we may conduct interviews and make an appointment before the closing date.
