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
TEACHING ASSISTANT - We are looking for an inspirational and creative Teaching Assistant to join us - this a really exciting opportunity to be part of something very special.
You will be responsible for supporting the teaching and learning in a class of up to 8 students, working alongside a class teacher and a HLTA. If you have Autism, BESD or AP experience that will be an advantage but is not required. Our current TAs come from a range of experiences.
You will care passionately about each child as an individual, be able to observe and listen and then respond to advice. You will be able to implement strategies for raising achievement across the curriculum and be committed to your further professional development. You will be non-judgemental, resilient and unconditionally accepting.
You will be confident and happy to work with children of any age or ability. All our children are currently verbal, able bodied and literate. They need support to make the most of their talents and abilities. Venture Academy is committed to the professional development of all; roles can be tailored to allow strengths to be shown as well as areas for development or professional interest to be experienced and understood. 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.
We know that children and young people with autism, social and emotional or mental health needs have to be presented with learning that is motivating and reinforcing and we want to recruit flexible and creative staff who understand how learning can impact on the overall wellbeing of children and young people and enable them to succeed. We will work very closely with parents/carers and families to ensure that they also feel supported and are confident that their child is getting the best that an academy can offer.
