Job description

Meaningful Career, No Experience Needed

Looking for a career that makes a difference?

You will provide invaluable support to four people with learning disabilities who live in their own flats in Wrexham - helping them live full, independent, and happy lives, their way.

This is a part-time role, 26 hours a week. If you're honest, respectful, kind, compassionate, and know how to have a laugh, you might be exactly who we're looking for.

At MacIntyre, we support adults with learning disabilities to live meaningful, fulfilling lives. We recruit for values, not experience - because the right attitude matters more than what's on your CV. Full training is provided.

So, what would you be doing day to day?

No two days look the same. You might be supporting someone with their morning routine, heading out together for a coffee or a swim, helping with cooking or budgeting, or simply sitting down for a chat and a laugh. It's about being a steady, encouraging presence - someone who helps people do the things they love and reach the goals that matter to them.

Why choose a Support Worker role?

Many of our team join us from retail, hospitality, care, admin, or customer service, looking for something more rewarding and more secure. While other sectors shrink and shift, social care keeps growing - and with it comes:

• Long-term job security
• Clear career progression
• Recognised qualifications and full training
• Work that is truly meaningful

About you

Of course we welcome you if you've been a care assistant or support worker, but experience isn’t necessary. If you share our values, are warm, friendly and willing to learn, you’re likely to be a great fit.

We’re looking for people who celebrate differences, and we strive to make all our staff feel included, valued and respected.

You must be a driver with a manual licence, as you will be driving service vehicles..

For 60 years, we've worked alongside people to build lives filled with opportunity, connection and belonging. Whatever your role, you'll help make that possible.

Learn and grow with us

Wherever you're starting from, we'll help you succeed.

You'll receive a full induction, a mix of online and face-to-face training, and mentoring from experienced colleagues while you learn the role.

As your career develops, you'll have access to ongoing learning, professional qualifications where relevant, and opportunities to progress, all fully supported by MacIntyre.

Pay and benefits

Alongside your salary, you'll enjoy a range of benefits including:

• 6 weeks' annual leave per year including public holidays
• Pension scheme
• Paid DBS check
• Health and wellbeing support, including an Employee Assistance Programme
