MacIntyre | Children’s Homes · Wingrave
You already understand. Now come and help.
Support Worker · 38 hrs per week · No care experience needed
If someone you love is autistic, or has a learning disability, you know things that can’t be taught in a classroom. You know how to stay calm when things feel overwhelming. You know the importance of routine, of patience, of celebrating progress that others might overlook. You know that the right support changes everything.
At MacIntyre, we support young people with autism and learning disabilities in two children’s homes in the village of Wingrave. We’re looking for people who bring that kind of quiet, hard-won understanding to work with them every day.
“One young person joined our home feeling incredibly anxious and bound by strict routines. With consistent, patient support, they gradually built the confidence to manage everyday situations independently and form meaningful friendships.”
What the role looks like
You’ll work one-to-one with a young person, supporting their morning routine, accompanying them into the community, helping them try new things at their own pace. The small wins here are anything but small.
Shift Patterns
Early shifts:
7:00 am 2:00/3:00 pm
Late shifts:
2:00/3:00 pm 10:00 pm
Mix of early and late shifts, every other weekend, with a weekday off to keep balance in check.
What we offer
-
Fully funded Level 3 Diploma in Residential Childcare earned while you work
-
A supportive team around you. You are never working alone
-
Comprehensive training from day one. No care background required
One practical requirement
Wingrave is a rural village with no public transport. You’ll need a manual UK driving licence as you’ll be driving our vehicles to take young people out into the community.
If you’ve ever thought “I’d be good at this” you probably would be.
