If you’ve ever looked at your own life skills and thought, "I’d be good at supporting young people," you probably would be.
Support Worker - Children’s Homes
Requirements: Full manual UK driving licence required (due to rural location and driving MacIntyre vehicles)
Experience: Not required, we hire for values and train for skills.
You know how to stay calm when things feel overwhelming. You understand the power of routine, the necessity of patience, and the joy of celebrating small steps forward that others might completely miss. You know that the right support changes everything.
At MacIntyre, we support young people with autism and learning disabilities across our modern, welcoming children’s homes in the rural village of Wingrave. We are looking for people who bring that kind of quiet, genuine empathy to work with them every day. Whether you come from a background in hospitality, retail, customer service, or have personal experience caring for a loved one, your transferable skills are exactly what we need to make a difference.
No two days are quite the same, but your core purpose remains constant: delivering young person-centred support that champions choice and independence.
-
Great Interactions: You will work closely with the young people, supporting their morning routines, helping them manage their personal care with dignity, and using creative communication tools to ensure their voices are always heard.
-
Community and Fun: You will help plan holiday, vocational, and social activities. You will be out and about, driving our vehicles to take young people into the community, helping them try new experiences at their own pace.
-
Tracking Growth: Working alongside our Registered Managers and Deputy Managers, therapeutic teams, and families, you will help implement learning and behaviour support plans, celebrating the progress that means the world to our young people.
"One young person joined our home feeling incredibly anxious and bound by strict routines. With consistent, patient support from our team, they gradually built the confidence to manage everyday situations independently and form meaningful friendships." (MacIntyre Team Member)
