Principal Academic Inclusion Lead

Location: Hybrid, 2 days a week expected in our London Office for those receiving London office allowance. Those living outside the M25 can opt to not receive London Office Allowance and agree a more flexible office attendance pattern at offer stage.

We are looking for  participant-centred professional to shape and drive retention, belonging, and academic success initiatives on our programmes. The Principal Academic Inclusion Lead will be a qualified social worker who can strategically design, deliver, and evaluate systems that enable all participants—particularly those at risk or with additional needs—to thrive across the three year Approach Social Work Programme. 

As Principal Academic Inclusion Lead, you will design and lead initiatives that strengthen belonging, retention, and academic achievement for all participants — particularly those who may face additional barriers or require early support. You’ll combine strategic leadership with hands-on participant engagement, working closely with tutors, curriculum leads, and practice teams to create inclusive, culturally responsive learning environments where people can thrive.
