About Us

Venture Academy based in Henley-in-Arden joined MacIntyre Academies Trust in September 2020 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' 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, 3 in Warwickshire and 1 in Oxford.

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.

The Role

We are currently recruiting for an inspirational Compassionate and Families Practitioner to join this exciting academy, this a really exciting opportunity to be part of something very special.

Reporting to the Assistant Principal, you will identify and introduce strategies for individuals to enable them to self-regulate their emotions enabling them to take part in the learning, care and support offered within the school.

The role is vital to the success of our schools.

You will ensure that relationships with families are productive and supportive of their children's educational experience, and that all education and support strategies will be developed in partnership with the child's family to ensure progress at home as well as school.

You will help prepare resources that can be used in 1-2-1 sessions by yourself and the class team so that the children and young people have the best access to learning.

As part of following each individual's education plan and behaviour support plan, you will also need an awareness and ability to contribute to relevant information on a daily basis as required such as students' logs and communication books.

All information must be recorded accurately appropriately.

You will also work closely with internal and external stakeholders to successfully contribute to the delivery of the vision, ethos, aims and objectives of the academy; in turn, enabling successful learning and achievement by young people and sustained improvement in their spiritual, moral, social, cultural, mental and physical well-being in preparation for the opportunities, responsibilities and experiences of adult life.

Some of our young people are very active but at the same time are vulnerable if left on their own.

Some young people can behave in a way that is challenging to others and part of our role is to teach young people safer and more effective ways of communicating their needs, however a level of challenge still exists; this can be physical or a reluctance to engage.

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