Support Worker

Date: 2026-09-10

Application Deadline: 2026-12-12T00:12:59.883

Honest, respectful, fun, kind - if that sounds like you, this could be the job for you. 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 values first. Our vision is simple: for every person with a learning disability to live a life that makes sense to them - full of connection, choice, and their own gifts, skills and passions put to good use. We call it living a gloriously ordinary life, and as a Support Worker, you'll help make that happen every single day.

A typical day

Every day is different. One day you might be helping someone get ready for a swimming trip, the next you're out for lunch together, or celebrating a goal they've worked hard to reach. It's about building real relationships and helping people connect with their community. Some positions include occasional sleep-in shifts (overnight stays where you're on hand if needed), paid at £60 per night in Warrington.
