Co-op Academies Trust aims to provide an outstanding education for all our learners, founded on co-operative values, at the heart of the community. It is responsible for an increasing number of academies in Leeds, Greater Manchester, Wirral and Stoke-on-Trent with the Co-op acting as the sponsor. There is the likelihood of significant further growth in the near future.

We are looking for a dedicated individual to oversee the daily management of the Academy’s student medical needs, producing personal pupil medical plans and supporting those pupils with injuries and physical health needs. This role will play a vital part in the successful running of our reception service and will be the main point of contact for all external agencies relating to first aid.

Our academy serves the local communities of Worsley, Boothstown and Walkden and provides places for 1500 pupils aged 11-16. We are easily commutable from all areas of the North West. We have a dedicated team of staff who build and share positive relationships and a caring culture with our wonderful students. This was highlighted in our recent Ofsted inspection (May 2023), where we were graded ‘Good’ in all areas.

All our values are based upon the values of the Co-op Group, which will inform our behaviours.

Self-help: We do not expect to be spoon fed – we will try to do things for ourselves in the right way and at the right time.

Self-responsibility: Everyone should act in a responsible way around the academy site and in the local community. We take responsibility for our own learning; we want to become independent learners.

Equality: We are proud to be part of a very multicultural academy, with students from all over the world; it is important that we treat each other with respect and accept that others may be different from ourselves. We should all of us have equal chances to succeed.

Equity: We want to look for the best in each other. Rewarding others fairly to encourage all types of achievement.

Democracy: We will contribute our ideas to make the academy a success.

Solidarity: We can achieve more by working together, rather than as individuals.
