Job description

Want a job that actually matters? This could be it.

Whether your background is retail, hospitality, warehouse work, or an office job, the skills you've already built - patience, people skills, reliability, keeping your cool under pressure - are exactly what we need.

At MacIntyre, we hire for character, not career history. We support adults with learning disabilities across our Warrington services, and what matters most to us is people who genuinely want to do right by others.

This could be for you if you:

• Are patient, approachable, and someone people can rely on
• Enjoy working with people - much like retail or hospitality, except here the relationships you build really last
• Want a job with genuine meaning, not just a wage

A typical day:

You'll be supporting adults with learning disabilities, both at home and out in the community - helping with getting ready in the morning, days out, swimming trips, meals out, or being there when someone finally reaches a goal they've worked hard for. Every day looks different.

Some positions include occasional sleep-in shifts (overnight stays where you're on hand if needed), paid at £60 per night in Warrington.

What's in it for you:

• A fully funded Level 3 Diploma in Health and Social Care - gain a respected qualification while you work, one that strengthens your CV and opens up future career paths
• Blue Light discount card
• A great holiday allowance
• A supportive team behind you every step of the way
• Complete training from the outset

New to care work? No problem - Many of our strongest Support Workers started out exactly where you are now. Bring the right attitude, and we'll handle the rest.
