We believe that diversity strengthens our community and are dedicated to providing every learner with equal opportunities to succeed. We are looking for a passionate and experienced Inclusion Support Worker to join our SEND team and champion inclusion across the academy.

Working closely with students, parents, and colleagues, you will develop strategies and provide support to remove barriers to learning and participation.
We are seeking a proactive and empathetic Inclusion Support Worker with a strong commitment to promoting equality and supporting the well-being of students. You will have the ability to work collaboratively with students and external agencies to create an environment where every child can thrive.
Why us?
At Co-op Academy Leeds, we pride ourselves on being a welcoming, nurturing and diverse community. Our commitment is to provide an ambitious and inspirational education that enables our young people to achieve exceptional outcomes.
Our academy offers a broad range of exciting opportunities both inside and outside the classroom, preparing students for their futures and ensuring they grow into compassionate and responsible citizens.
As a proud member of the Co-op Academies Trust, the 'Ways of Being' are woven into every aspect of our academy and our wider community. We set high expectations for our staff and students, cultivating a culture built on mutual trust and respect. Our respectful, calm, and productive environment is a place where everyone can thrive and enjoy working and learning together.”
All our values are based upon the values of the Co-op Group, which will inform our behaviours.
Self-help: We do not expect to be spoon fed – we will try to do things for ourselves in the right way and at the right time.
Self-responsibility: Everyone should act in a responsible way around the academy site and in the local community. We take responsibility for our own learning; we want to become independent learners.
Equality: We are proud to be part of a very multicultural academy, with students from all over the world; it is important that we treat each other with respect and accept that others may be different from ourselves. We should all of us have equal chances to succeed.
Equity: We want to look for the best in each other. Rewarding others fairly to encourage all types of achievement.
Democracy: We will contribute our ideas to make the academy a success.
Solidarity: We can achieve more by working together, rather than as individuals.
