About Us
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.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
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.
Please take a look at our website https://www.macintyreacademies.org/ to find out more about us.
Our young people have diverse and complex needs and supporting them may include assisting with aspects of personal care. We are committed to ensuring this support is provided with dignity, sensitivity and respect, and applicants should feel comfortable undertaking personal care as part of their role.
Some learners communicate how they are feeling through their behaviour and at times that maybe unsafe behaviour. It is part of our shared responsibility to teach our learners how to communicate safely and effectively. At times they may need our support to keep themselves and others safe and we provide training to ensure all staff are able to do this. For these reasons, this role requires someone who is able to manage these, at times, high physical demands effectively. MacIntyre Academies will, where possible, look to make reasonable adjustments to comply with the Equality Act 2010 and fully assess risks.
