Mac Intyre 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 anacademy 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.

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

We are currently recruiting for a compassionate and proactive individual to support learners in developing effective strategies for emotional self-regulation, enabling them to fully engage in the learning, care, and support available within the school environment. The role also involves leading debriefing sessions with both learners and staff following incidents, fostering a reflective and supportive culture. A comprehensive induction, along with ongoing training and professional development, will be rovided to ensure you are fully equipped to thrive in this vital role.

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. Mac Intyre Academies will, where possible, look to make reasonable adjustments to comply with the Equality Act 2010.
