Job Description

Join Our Team at MacIntyre School: Make a Real Difference Every Day!

Are you looking for a role where you can truly make an impact on the lives of young people? Do you want to work in a vibrant, supportive environment where no two days are ever the same? If you’re passionate about helping children with learning disabilities and autism, then this is the perfect opportunity for you!

At MacIntyre School in Wingrave, Special Educational Needs (SEN) isn’t just something we add on – it’s at the heart of everything we do. We believe in creating an environment that’s as unique as the children we work with. Our approach is all about individuality, creativity, and real-world learning, and we’re looking for passionate and dedicated individuals to join our team and help our students thrive.

What We Offer

• A Fun and Rewarding Role: Every day brings new challenges and experiences. Whether you’re exploring the community, helping students develop life skills in the kitchen, creating music, or getting hands-on with sensory play, you’ll never have a dull moment.
• A Chance to Make a Difference: You’ll be supporting students aged 10-19 with a range of complex needs, and you’ll have the opportunity to help them overcome obstacles and achieve milestones – big or small. The progress you’ll see is incredibly rewarding, and the bonds you’ll build are priceless.
• Full Training and Development: No experience? No problem! We’ll provide all the training and support you need to succeed in the role and grow professionally. It’s an exciting opportunity for anyone looking to develop new skills and build a career in SEN.
• A Long-Term Opportunity: We’re looking for people who are ready to stay and grow with us. We want team members who are as committed to the role as we are to our students. If you’re looking for a career that’s fulfilling and long-term, this is the place for you.
  
  

The Role

As a Learning Support Assistant at MacIntyre School, you’ll be part of a dedicated team, closely with up to 6 students in a small, supportive class. You’ll get to know each student individually, tailoring your support to meet their needs and helping them to shine. Working with students 1:1 and in small groups means you’ll have the time and space to truly connect with them and make a lasting impact on their lives.

You’ll work hand-in-hand with the class teacher and the rest of the team to deliver a curriculum that’s creative, engaging, and designed around the students’ strengths and needs. No two days are alike, and the work you do will always be rewarding, fun, and challenging in the best ways.

About You

• You’re excited to work with young people and make a difference in their lives.
• You’re committed to a long-term career in a supportive and innovative environment.
• You have a positive, flexible attitude and are eager to learn.
• You’re a team player who enjoys working closely with others to achieve shared goals.
  
  

The Details

• Location: MacIntyre School, Wingrave
• Working Hours: Term-time only, 38.5 hours per week, 41 weeks per year
• No Experience Necessary: We provide all the training you need – just bring your enthusiasm and passion!
  
  

This is an exciting opportunity to become part of a team that’s changing lives every single day. If you’re looking for a role that’s both fun and fulfilling, and one where you can build a long-term career, we’d love to hear from you!

Please Note: Applications requiring sponsorship cannot be considered at this time. We appreciate your understanding.

About You

We are looking for warm, caring, positive and resilient people who will put the children at the centre of everything they do. You don’t have to have experience. If you are inspired by supporting young people with complex needs to achieve and live happy fulfilled lives in a way that makes sense to them, then we would love to hear from you. We provide a comprehensive induction and training package with the opportunity to work alongside experienced team members who will support you on your journey.

Who are we?

MacIntyre School offers an innovative and challenging curriculum individually tailored to provide each student with the best possible learning opportunities and outcomes. It is focused on developing communication, functional skills and independence in context. Learning takes place throughout the waking day whether at school, in the residential houses or out in the community, where we provide an exciting range of off-site learning activities.

Learning activities may include: life skills (e.g. using public transport, shopping, cooking and cleaning), physical exercise (e.g. climbing, swimming, walking, water sports), work experience (e.g. on a farm), community access (e.g. in shops or cafes) or class based activities (e.g. music and dance & creative arts).

Awarded “Good” at our Ofsted inspection, here are some of the reasons you'll enjoy joining our team:

'Adults never stop wanting the best for the pupils. They see what each pupil might be capable of and work patiently and determinedly towards it. This is a school of aspiration and positivity.'

'Leaders know their school well and have a deep understanding of the complex context. The strong leadership from senior leaders has already resulted in much success. Staff are extremely proud to work at this school, and rightly so.'

Some things you need to know

• Students can present with behaviour that is challenging - we'll give you specialist training to help our students manage their behaviour
• You will need to provide personal care
  
  

Training and Development

At Macintyre we fully support your training and development. We know it can be daunting to start a new job, and not everyone learns the same way, so throughout your probation we will provide you with a mixture of eLearning, face-to-face training and mentoring support whilst on the job.

But it doesn't stop there - throughout your career with us you will have access to our own dedicated in house Learning and Development team, Quality Specialists and HR Teams. These teams, along with your Manager, will provide you with opportunities to learn and develop professionally as well as enabling and supporting you to achieve professional qualifications and career progression opportunities - all free of charge.
