Teaching Assistants

desirable, but not essential; \n Experience of working with students of secondary school age would be an advantage although not essential, as would NVQ2 or above. \n \n The Trust recognise the importance of Teaching Assistants within their organisation who bring a wealth of knowledge and experience in order to assist our students in reaching their full potential. In order to support our TAs with their career development, we have recently introduced Teaching Assistant Responsibility (TAR) allowances which is an additional salary payment in recognition of any extra responsibility taken on. TARs, which are unique to the Trust, have been designed to align with Teaching staff who, similarly receive a Teaching & Learning Responsibility (TLR) allowance. \n The level of responsibility will determine the level of the TAR payment and will range from £500 to £3,500 per annum potentially equating your salary scale to beyond GLEA 3.9 up to GLEA 6.15. \n The Trust is committed to safeguarding

and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all its staff and volunteers to share this commitment. All pre-employment checks undertaken are in line with "Keeping Children Safe in Education". This post is subject to an enhanced DBS check. \n Closing date for applications is 8am Wednesday 9th September 2026 . \n For vacancies with multiple positions available across the Trust, please clearly indicate which school you are applying for. \n Our reference: AGS680 \n Vacancy : Teaching Assistants \n Location : Donington, Spalding, Bourne, Boston \n Salary : Salary range GLEA 3.6 - GLEA 6.15 equivalent, £21,267 - £26,253 actual per annum \n inclusive of negotiable \n Teaching Assistant Responsibility (TAR) Allowance of between £500 and £3,500 per annum depending on experience \n Hours : 5 days per week (32.5 hours), 39 weeks a year \n Smart Hire are advertising on behalf of South Lincolnshire Academies Trust
