The Role
We are currently recruiting for an inspirational Family footings facilitator to join this exciting academy, this a really exciting opportunity to be part of something very special.
Our Family Footings Facilitators are vital to the success of our schools. They 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 also work closely with internal and external stakeholders to successfully contribute to the delivery of the vision, ethos, aims and objectives of the academy and children’s home; 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.
