Job description

Bridge Manager (Primary School Teacher) (E7281) - Leeds East Academy

Post Reference: 2604

Job Title: Bridge Manager (Primary School Teacher)

Hours: Full Time

Accountable to: Assistant Principal: Inclusion & Provision

Leeds East Academy is a vibrant, over-subscribed 11-16 academy driven by a clear purpose: to improve the life chances of our young people. Guided by our core values of resilience, integrity, trust, and ambition, we strive to create a community where every student feels a deep sense of belonging and is empowered to achieve their full potential.

As part of the Inclusion team, the Bridge Manager will be responsible for cultivating and promoting lasting change within the school community, while also supporting the wider development of the Academy’s inclusive practices. This includes working with key students who require additional academic support through internal provisions.

The Bridge is a new provision being introduced at Leeds East Academy as an extension of the school’s Special Education Needs and Disabilities (SEND) and Inclusion offer. It aims to provide a structured, nurturing environment for learners who are working significantly below age-related expectations and struggle to access mainstream lessons.

The post holder will coordinate the personalised learning of vulnerable students, ensuring that their learning, progress, welfare, and personal development are at the heart of the provision. The Bridge will primarily support students within Key Stage 3, offering a focused intervention space that acts as a middle layer between mainstream targeted support and more intensive internal alternative provision.

White Rose Academies Trust is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of its students and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. Appointments will be subject to Safer Recruitment Procedures and an enhanced DBS check.

Please note this role will involve contact with children and you will be engaging in regulated activity. It is an offence to apply for the role if you are barred from engaging in regulated activity relevant to children.

We promote diversity and want a workforce which reflects the population of Leeds. Applications are welcome from all, irrespective of sex, sexuality, race, religion, marital status, age or disability.

The above post is not a Leeds City Council vacancy and has been advertised on behalf of the relevant organisation. To apply please follow their application instructions.
