Are you someone who loves working with children, thrives in a team, and wants to be part of something truly meaningful? At Park Lane Academy, we're on a mission to change lives, and we're looking for an Inclusion Officer & Administrator who's just as passionate as we are!

Why Park Lane?

At Park Lane, we may be a small secondary academy - but that's exactly what makes us so special. Our size means that every student is truly known, valued, and supported. It creates the family feel we're so proud of - and it's one of the first things visitors notice when they walk through our doors.

We believe that strong relationships with students and their families are the foundation for success. From Year 7 to Year 11, we're here to offer not just an exceptional education, but also genuine care, guidance, and support every step of the way.

We're proud to serve a diverse and inclusive community, where everyone belongs and every student is encouraged to be their best.

Our core values

• Respect
• Ambition
• Pride

With the support of our dedicated staff, families, governors, and the wider community, we work together to help our students grow into confident, capable young people ready to take on the world.

Here at Park Lane Academy, your child will be seen, heard, and inspired - in a place where they can truly thrive.

South Pennine Academies, based in West Yorkshire, is a close-knit family of 11 primary and secondary schools across Calderdale, Kirklees, and Oldham - working together to help every child thrive!

What You'll Bring

• A love for working with children and helping them shine
• Great communication skills and a team-player mindset
• Flexibility, positivity, and a can-do attitude
• A kind and respectful approach that makes you a fantastic role model
• A commitment to your own growth as well as the children's
