It is responsible for 30 academies in West Yorkshire, Greater Manchester, Wirral, Staffordshire and Stoke-on-Trent with the Co-op acting as the sponsor. There is the likelihood of significant further growth in the near future.
Co-op Academy Leeds is a ‘Good’ school (Ofsted, Nov 2022) and on the back of our recent successes, we’re fully committed to getting even better.
We’re looking for an Office and Operations Manager to lead the daily operations of our Academy and manage our facilities, receptionist and administrative teams. You will also work closely with our Academy Leadership Team to coordinate Academy events and develop the school calendar.
With a strong understanding of Health and Safety, you will be responsible for ensuring the Academy is the best possible environment for our colleagues and students to learn and work. You will also provide strong professional leadership and management of the Academy’s PFI contract.
And of course, you’ll do all this whilst capturing the spirit of our vision and values and whilst role-modelling exceptional professional behaviours.
As a colleague at Leeds, you’ll work within a diverse learning community, striving to deliver an outstanding working and learning experience for all. Therefore, a genuine passion for working and making a real difference in the community is essential.
We offer our colleagues excellent career development opportunities as part of the Co-op Academies Trust, along with access to a comprehensive programme of Personalised Professional Learning and Development irrespective of career stage.
