Your Role

Join us in fostering a culture of innovation! At Co-op Academy Priesthorpe, we are seeking a dedicated Assistant SENDCo to champion, inspire and support students through a tailored and inclusive curriculum!

As an Assistant SENDCo, you'll be instrumental in shaping the educational journey for students with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND). The role involves providing expert guidance and compassionate support, ensuring every student has the resources they need to succeed academically and personally. You will work closely with colleagues, parents, and external agencies to create an inspiring and inclusive curriculum that fosters a learning environment where all students can thrive.


Our Values: The Co-op Way

We are guided by the Co-op’s ‘Ways of Being’:

  • Succeed together: We achieve more through solidarity than as individuals.
  • Do what matters most: Focusing on the academic and personal growth of our students.
  • Be yourself, always: Celebrating our multicultural community and treating everyone with respect.
  • Show you care: Prioritising the well-being of both students and colleagues.


Why Join Us?

We recognise the vital part you play in our success and offer a comprehensive rewards package:

  • Well-being First: Dedicated well-being weeks each term (with all meetings cancelled) and a supportive Academy Leadership Team.
  • Professional Growth: Fortnightly ‘CRAFT’ sessions focused on your personal and professional development, alongside weekly ‘Community’ sessions with free staff breakfast.
  • Co-op Benefits: A Co-op colleague discount card.
  • Inclusive Environment: Join a community where pupils are "proud to be members of an inclusive community".


How to Apply

If you share our vision for a learning environment that is both ambitious and inclusive, we would love to hear from you.
