Are you looking to gain experience within a friendly and supportive secondary academy? Do you have experience working with children? Or maybe thinking about pursuing a career in teaching?

 We’re looking for a Learning Manager to join our team!

As a Cover Supervisor (Learning Manager) you will supervise students across Key Stages 3 and 4 where a teacher is absent. You will cover lessons prepared by the teacher as well as contributing to the development of learning strategies to help raise achievement. You will research, prepare and coordinate resources to support teaching and learning as well as manage behaviour in the classroom. You will also assist with break and lunch time supervision.

This role is 37 hours per week, and fixed term until July 2025. This post is term time only, so you will get all the school holidays off. Actual salary for term time only 37 hours per week is £22,626 - £24,638 + AMAZING benefits!

At the top of your game, you’ll have great behaviours, strong organisational skills, the ability to collaborate effectively, and be able to work constructively as part of a team. How and why you do things matters greatly to us, as does your ability to use your initiative, work independently and demonstrate ambition and integrity. 

In return you’ll be joining a great team, which was recognised in our recent Ofsted inspection report, where we have been judged to be Good with Outstanding features. Ofsted commented “Many staff are proud members of what they describe as the ‘Priesthorpe family’”. In addition to this, the first line of the report captures what really matters to us; “Pupils at Coop Academy Priesthorpe are proud to be members of an inclusive community”.

You’ll do all this whilst capturing the spirit of our vision and values and role-modelling exceptional professional behaviours.

Co-op Academy Priesthorpe really is a special place to work with a friendly and supportive culture. The academy is situated in Pudsey and just 15 minutes from both Leeds and Bradford centre with places for 1250 students and 135 staff. The Academy has a very special ethos, which visitors continue to comment on. Equity and equality are key drivers for us in ensuring that all students have the opportunity to excel within a highly inclusive and supportive community.

All colleagues, teaching and support, are responsible for a small coaching group of students which they meet with for 1.5 hours over a week. Full training is offered and you will be buddied up with a teaching member of staff. This adds a very rewarding element to the role.

Why us? 

What our team does really counts. And we offer a wide range of benefits and rewards to recognise the part you play in our success. Whether they benefit your finances, your well-being, or your family, in or outside work. We care and do what matters most!

Benefits include:

• Well-being weeks at the end of each term with well-being activities, all meetings cancelled as well as a dedicated well-being committee team

• Supportive Academy Leadership Team with well-being high on the agenda

• ‘Community’ sessions once a week with free staff breakfast and 25 minutes to connect and chat with colleagues

Our Values

We have a strong culture which creates a positive working environment. We follow the Co-op’s ‘Ways of Being’ which are:

• Succeed together – Cooperating is what makes us different; we’re better and stronger when we work together.

• Be yourself, always – We bring our best self to the academy, so that we each contribute and respect others for doing the same. Of course, being yourself isn’t about excusing poor behaviours that contradict our other Ways of Being Co-op.

• Do what matters most – What matters most is ensuring that our students achieve the best possible outcomes.

• Show you care – We care about our Trust, our colleagues, our students, their parents, our Co-op and communities, now and for the future.

So, if you believe in our values we would love to hear from you!
