Please take a look at our website http://www.endeavour-academy.org/ to find out more about us.

Reporting to the Class Teacher and the Higher Level Teaching Assistant you will be responsible for the support and delivery of teaching and learning. You will model best practice and enable successful learning and achievement by learners 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 learners can behave in a way that is challenging to others and part of our role is to teach learners 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.
