At Pivot we believe children deserve better. We are a specialist independent provision with sites in both Kirklees and Leeds. In our academies we teach and support children and young people from Key Stages 2 – 5 who have been excluded from school, for whom mainstream education is simply not working, or those with an EHCP who require a specialist placement. Every day our teams do incredible work, making a huge difference to some complex and challenging children, many of whom come to us with traumatic backgrounds.
We are seeking a cleaner for our Leeds provision, which operates over 7 buildings in very close proximity.
