About the Role

To meet increased pupil needs in September 2026, Esland's Grantham school is seeking a positive, proactive SEN Teaching Assistant to join our team.

As a Teaching Assistant, you’ll work closely with class teachers to support students aged 8–18 with SEMH needs. You’ll help deliver a fun, functional curriculum tailored to individual learning needs, often working one-to-one or in small groups.

  • A competitive salary between £23,520 and £26,358 (reviewed annually)
  • Enrolment into the Esland education pension scheme, which is double matched up to 20%, meaning at total pension contribution of up to 30%
  • Company sick pay
  • Life insurance to the value of 4 times your basic salary
  • Comprehensive, paid induction training and ongoing training within the role
  • Fantastic opportunities for career development, we promoted over 100 colleagues last year
  • Cycle to work scheme
  • Access to our Employee Assistance Programme (EAP) including our Online GP 24/7, 365 days a year
  • Access to our Green Hybrid and EV car scheme
  • A £500 bonus via our 'Refer a Friend’ scheme


What we’re looking for:

  • Experience supporting children with SEND/SEMH needs
  • Experience with EBSA (Emotional Based School Avoidance)
  • Understanding of behaviour management and trauma-informed practices
  • Inclusive, empathetic, and solution-focused mindset
  • Ability to work as part of a team and build strong relationships
  • Basic knowledge of child development, safeguarding, and the National Curriculum
  • Confidence in using ICT to support learning

Successful employment is subject to satisfactory Full Enhanced Disclosure, right to work and reference checks in line with government regulations and Safer Recruitment Practices.

All young people are equally entitled to have their needs met in a fair and balanced way.
