Hours: 37 hours per week, term time only plus 10 days
Accountable to: Special Education Needs and Disabilities Coordinator (SENDCo)
Leeds East Academy is a thriving 11-16 school committed to transforming the lives of young people through education. Rooted in values of resilience, integrity, trust, and ambition, the academy fosters an inclusive and supportive environment where every student is encouraged to excel, regardless of their background. As part of the White Rose Academies Trust, the school is dedicated to delivering a world-class education, continuously evolving to meet the needs of its students and embracing innovative approaches to learning.
Recognised by Ofsted in 2024 for its strong leadership, positive student behaviour, and personal development opportunities, Leeds East Academy has undergone remarkable improvement in recent years. The school is driven by the belief that every child can achieve exceptional outcomes. More than just a place of learning, the academy nurtures and inspires students, equipping them with the skills and character to succeed in life and contribute positively to society.
Role:
Due to the internal promotion of the current post holder, an exciting opportunity has arisen for an Assistant SENDCo to join the Inclusion Team at Leeds East Academy. Leeds East Academy serves a richly diverse community, with a student body that has a significantly higher proportion of students with special educational needs than the national average.
As Assistant SENDCo, you will be part of a team of two Assistant SENDCos working alongside the SENDCo to lead and develop SEND provision across the academy. The role involves shared responsibilities as well as specific areas of need to ensure that personalised, high-quality support is delivered to students. You will contribute to the identification of need, lead targeted interventions, and develop strong relationships with families and external agencies.
From September, Leeds East Academy is further developing its Inclusion structure, with an expansion of internal specialist provision to support students with SEND and SEMH needs. This includes The Bridge, which provides tailored support for students working significantly below key stage expectations academically, and Connect, our internal alternative provision housed within a newly built, bespoke facility on-site, supported by its own dedicated team. This strategic development places inclusion at the heart of our academy, offering additional opportunities for the successful candidate to make a meaningful impact on the lives of our learners.
This is a fantastic opportunity to join a values-driven academy, committed to inclusive practice and securing the best possible outcomes for all students.
Part of White Rose Academies Trust - Leeds East Academy is accelerating on a thrilling journey, which will ultimately see the school, its staff and its students, secure continued strides for the school and the community that it serves.
We are securing our vision for World Class by growing our family of exceptional education professionals; dedicated specialists and passionate leaders with the shared goal of transforming future prospects for the next generation in West Yorkshire.
The trust currently employs over 500 members of staff and is responsible for educating and developing almost 4,000 students between the ages of 3 to 16. The trust consists of three secondary schools - Leeds City Academy, Leeds East Academy and Leeds West Academy, and also welcomed its first primary school Alder Tree Primary Academy on 1st December 2020.
We believe the trust is a highly desirable place of work for an ambitious professional, who will be joining one of the most supportive and talented teams in the country.
