Teacher of SEND

We’re looking for talented Teachers of SEND to join us from September 2023!

As a Teacher of SEND at Brierley you will plan and deliver a highly effective, engaging and differentiated curriculum for our young people, facilitating and encouraging a learning experience which provides students with the opportunity to achieve their individual potential. But above all, you’ll have a genuine commitment to teaching and supporting opportunities for the personal and academic growth of students with Special Educational Needs. Initially opening to pupils across years one to seven from September 2023, the school will go on to eventually cater for all year groups within the 4-16 age range.

Through the delivery of an exceptional learning experience from day one, you will contribute to our success from the outset, playing a key role in establishing Co-op Academy Brierley as an outstanding provider of education to young people with Special Educational Needs. You will be joining a highly collaborative and successful partnership of schools in East Leeds, with four other schools in our Trust in LS9, all rated ‘Good’ by Ofsted. As a growing and ambitious Trust we can also offer successful candidates huge opportunities for development and career progression.

The opening of Co-op Academy Brierley will be delivered by a key team of incredibly talented individuals from across our Trust and partner organisations. It will initially be based in a brand new, purpose-built extension at our Co-op Academy Nightingale site (LS9) from September 2023, before moving to newly built, state of the art premises on Cross Green Lane (LS9). This new facility will provide an outstanding working and learning environment for our colleagues and young people and will sit within a wider site undergoing significant redevelopment by Leeds City Council.

As a colleague at Co-op Academies Trust, you’ll work within a diverse learning community, striving to deliver an outstanding working and learning experience for all. You will be joining a supportive, committed and passionate team who work hard to ensure that everyone in our Trust can achieve their potential. And of course, you’ll do all this whilst capturing the spirit of our vision and values and whilst role-modelling exceptional professional behaviours.

So, if you’re an experienced SEND practitioner who is committed to creating opportunities that enable young people to thrive, then we’d be delighted to hear from you.
