Bridge Manager (Primary School Teacher) job summary
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 and strategic 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 further develop the infrastructure of inclusion by providing a structured, nurturing environment for learners who are working significantly below age-related expectations and struggle to access mainstream lessons. Many of these students present with Cognition and Learning needs, alongside some Social, Emotional and Mental Health (SEMH) needs, requiring a more tailored and flexible approach to their education.
The post holder will coordinate the personalised learning of vulnerable students, taking into account their starting points and 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 the more intensive internal alternative provision.
