Attend our event to discover how to become a Teaching Assistant

Becoming a Teaching Assistant is a highly rewarding and valued role in the schools at South Lincolnshire Academies Trust. Due to expansion, we are looking for even more Teaching Assistants to join our SEN team.

We have Teaching Assistants at the school with staff who have joined after Sixth Form, currently studying or want to fit in a job around their personal commitments. There is no typical Teaching Assistant, but they all share one thing in common and that is they all find it rewarding to help students.

Working in the SEN team, you will provide additional support in the classroom for students and have the opportunity to be involved in extra-curricular activities at the school.

On Wednesday 5th November 2025, we will be holding a ‘Become a Teaching Assistant’ information evening at Spalding Academy where you can drop-in anytime between 5.30pm to 7.00pm for the opportunity to speak to our staff for more information about the role and how it can also further develop your career in our Trust.

You can also find out more about the Teaching Assistant Responsibility allowance (TAR) which can be worth up to £2,000 for suitable candidates.

No formal qualifications are required and for the appropriate candidates full training will be given. We do however, prefer a minimum grade C in GCSE English, Maths and Science.

This event is for those who are interested in working at ANY of our Trust schools (Bourne Academy, Spalding Academy, Giles Academy and Cowley Academy).

By attending, you will have the chance to make a positive impression and get a head start in working for our highly successful Trust to progress your career.
