We have an incredible new opportunity for an Inclusion & Behaviour Lead to join Landau. This role offers more than a wage – it’s about the deep reward of guiding young people who’ve faced challenging starts in life toward brighter futures. As an Inclusion & Behaviour Lead, you will lead on behaviour and attendance across the centre, ensuring consistent expectations, strong routines, and effective intervention for learners with a range of needs, including SEND. The role provides a visible and proactive presence across the site, supporting learners to engage in education through structured, inclusive approaches. This is a key operational role within a high-support environment where safeguarding, inclusion, and learner voice are central
At Landau, we’re passionate about changing lives and creating futures. As a leading supported employment and training charity, we’re changing over 800 lives each year across the West Midlands, including Telford and Wrekin, by providing pathways to employment, access to education, and support for personal growth and independence. Joining our team means joining a community that values making a real difference—empowering individuals to overcome challenges and realise their potential. We are a diverse, forward-thinking organisation, dedicated to delivering high-quality, sustainable services that truly change lives and open doors to new beginnings
We are committed to supporting our workforce as much as our mission. At Landau, you’ll receive the Real Living Wage, access to a private healthcare scheme, roadside assistance, and support through our Disability Confident Employer status. We’re proud to be a Gold Award holder for our support of veterans, creating an inclusive environment where all backgrounds and abilities are valued. If you’re driven to be part of a diverse, forward-thinking organisation that’s dedicated to delivering high-quality, sustainable services that truly change lives, we’d love to have you join us.
