Job Description

Locations: Crownhill & Great Holm, Milton Keynes

At MacIntyre, we’re passionate about supporting people with learning disabilities and/or autism to lead gloriously ordinary lives. We are looking for full-time Support Workers to join our teams in our homes in Crownhill and Great Holm, Milton Keynes.

You’ll be helping people to live the life they choose and empowering them to make connections where they live and go out in line with our “Everyone, Everywhere” approach. We’re looking for enthusiastic, energetic people who are ready to bring their own gifts, skills and passions to the people we support, ensuring they have a voice and are listened to.

No two days are ever the same! You’ll be giving people a hand as they go about their day to day lives, whether it’s supporting with hobbies, helping them get ready for the day, or assisting during the evening. You’ll also play an important role in encouraging the people we support to do the things they enjoy and will help them to organise things like parties, trips out or barbecues. Both homes have a lovely garden, which everyone enjoys, especially in the summer months.

Shifts are on a rota basis, including mornings, evenings, weekends, and bank holidays. Typical shift times are 07:30–15:00 (earlies) and 14:30–22:00 (lates.) There are also sleep-in shifts.

• Full training and support from your Frontline Manager and Senior Support Workers.
• A friendly, supportive team environment.
• A chance to make a real difference in the lives of people we support, with no two days being quite the same.

If you're ready to help people live their gloriously ordinary lives, we'd love to hear from you!

Experience isn’t always necessary. If you have the right attitude, good customer service skills, share our values and are willing to learn, you’re likely to be a great fit. We are looking for people who celebrate differences, and we strive to make all our staff feel included, valued and respected.

We’re looking for people who are enthusiastic, patient, and willing to come up with fun, exciting things to do. You’ll be helping to ensure that each person’s support is creative, fresh, and truly person-centred. A UK manual driving licence is required.

You must be a driver with a manual licence, as you will be driving service vehicles. You must also have your own transport which is insured for business use.

MacIntyre is a national charity which supports over 1,200 people with a learning disability and/or autism. We were founded in 1966 by the visionary parent of a child with disabilities and have been growing steadily ever since. We celebrate and develop everyone’s unique gifts, talents and contributions.

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.

We provide a range of benefits to reward and thank our staff which includes:

• Six weeks' annual leave including statutory public holidays
• Workplace Pension scheme – MacIntyre will contribute 3% of your salary to all eligible employees
• MacIntyre Staff Savings Scheme
• Employee Assistance Plan (EAP) to support your health and wellbeing
