Come and join our vibrant, passionate and energetic team at NEPAIP@Leopold. 

Do you have skills, knowledge and experience of supporting primary aged children experiencing social, emotional and mental health challenges?  Are you enthusiastic, hardworking and prepared to go that extra mile?  Are you calm and patient with a good sense of humour?   Are you great at working on your own initiative as well as being part of a team?

The North East Primary AIP would like to recruit an energetic, creative and personable Locality Inclusion Leader who is driven and strives to make a difference in the lives of the children, young people, families and schools we support. 

The overall aim of The Area Inclusion Partnership is to improve outcomes for vulnerable young people at risk of suspension or from becoming permanently excluded from mainstream education.  The NEPAIP (North East Primary Area Inclusion Partnership) offer a range of interventions, support and advice in the North East of Leeds on an outreach basis to help develop the skills for positive inclusion and to promote success in school. 

The LIL (Locality Inclusion Leader) will provide outreach to support this overarching work on targeted interventions throughout the 45 primary schools.  The majority of our children remain within their schools while others move to different schools or onto specialist provision.  Through effective deployment of resources working across the NE area the LIL will ensure that services to children, young people and their families at greatest risk of poor outcomes are delivered through coordinated packages of support with all involved. 

We are looking for a committed person to take on the role of LIL to join our team.  You will be part of the continuing development of the support to our area schools.  The successful candidate will work closely alongside the team and our schools as well as the many different agencies and services to improve the outcomes for the children.  As LIL, you will work within the 45 primary schools as well as offer some of your knowledge and experience within the inclusion base to build on the local offer.   You will be based at Leopold Street and carry out your intervention support within the schools in the 2gether, A.R.M and EPOS clusters.  This area stretches from Harehills to Boston Spa.

If this sounds like the job for you, we will welcome your application to join our committed team as we aspire to achieve the best possible outcomes for our pupils.
