Be part of the Academy Trust behind schools for children and young people with autism and/or additional needs.

MacIntyre Academies' mission is to become a leading Special Academy Trust that provides outstanding outcome-focused state education by promoting high aspirations, empowering parents as partners and successfully equipping every child for adult life.

We currently have 4 Academies. Endeavour Academy in Oxford opened in 2014 and is a residential academy for children and young people with autism and associated severe Learning difficulties aged from 9 to 19 years old. In 2015 we opened Discovery Academy in Nuneaton, for children with social, emotional and mental health needs and /or autism. In 2017 we opened Quest Academy also catering for children with SEMH and/or autism. Finally, in September 2020, Venture Academy based in Henley-in-Arden joined the Trust catering for pupils in years 5-11 (ages 9-16) who may have Social, Emotional and Mental Health Difficulties and/or Diagnoses of Autism or an associated condition.

MacIntyre Academies benefits greatly from its sponsor MacIntyre, which over the last 50 years, has developed a strong reputation nationally, as a high quality, person centred organisation.

We are currently recruiting an enthusiastic and dedicated Family Footings Facilitator to work within all key stage areas, to be a trained deputy designated safeguarding lead, liaise with families, support learners, deliver 1-2-1, small group & class interventions where needed as well as support with careers events, work experience and post 16 next steps.

This is an exciting opportunity to be part of a team that will enhance the school experience for all. You will need to be reliable, committed and have experience. You should also be caring, trustworthy and an excellent role model for our learners with clear motivation to work in a school that seeks to be the best that it can be, amongst staff, learners, parents and governors who are all dedicated to learning and continual improvement.

The role requires someone who is physically fit. MacIntyre Academies will, where possible, look to make reasonable adjustments to comply with the Equality Act 2010.
