Ref: NTXEA233490
If you don’t want to spend your days stuck in an office, we have just the job for you!
What do you enjoy? Are you super-sporty, or do you prefer a girlie afternoon’s shopping?
You’ll be supporting women who have learning disabilities, autism and complex behaviours. They’re looking for staff who will enable them to live the lives they want.
You’ll share some of their interests, which range from walking and swimming to music and movies. You’ll help them learn day-to-day life skills and become more independent.
This opportunity would be a good fit if you have an interest in psychology or want to specialise in the field of autism. We can accommodate both full-time and part-time staff.
This job can be a challenge, but if you’re the right sort of person, the sense of achievement you’ll get is second to none, and you’ll never be bored! You don’t need experience, as we provide loads of training and back-up, including specialist coaching.
Who are we? MacIntyre is a national charity supporting people who have learning disabilities. We believe everyone deserves to live life on their own terms.
Some things you need to know
- You’ll take your turn working shifts which include days, evenings, nights and weekends
- You MUST be a driver as you will need to drive service vehicles
- You’ll need to support the women with personal care
Pay and Rewards
You’ll receive a great induction and ongoing training, including the opportunity to gain nationally accredited vocational qualifications, free of charge. Other benefits include:
- Generous annual leave allowance of 33 days including statutory public holidays, rising with service to a maximum of 38 days after five years
- Workplace pension scheme
- Employee Assistance scheme to support your health and wellbeing
- MacIntyre Staff Savings Scheme
- Opportunities for transfers and promotions within MacIntyre
Salaries are dependent on successful completion of a probation period. Part time positions are pro rata, and we pay £35 per sleep-in.
