Job Description
We are looking for highly motivated, active members of staff who are looking to embark on an exciting and rewarding career working with learners with Autism and learning difficulties.
Previous experience is not essential though desirable to have an understanding of Autism, Social, Emotional and Mental Health Difficulties and Learning disabilities; ultimately providing Care, education and support to Children and Young people.
It is paramount that you must be an effective, confident communicator.
Experience will not be essential as you will receive ongoing support and training with a full induction.
It is more important to us that you have the right outlook, can build relationships with our learner, and share our values and belief in their potential. “Mac Intyre hire for attitude and train for skill.”
You will be able to keep accurate records such as the recording of daily notes; mediation administration and learning outcomes with excellent attention to detail.
You will demonstrate an approach of facilitation and reflective practice with a belief in a life of independence and choice for the young people you will support at all times.
Some of our young people are very active but at the same time are vulnerable if left on their own.
Some youngpeople 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 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.
Our people are at the heart of our success
