Support Workers - Be Part of Someone's Everyday in Great Holm, Milton Keynes
Full-time & Part-time Roles Available
We're a national charity supporting people with learning disabilities and/or autism to live full, meaningful lives in the heart of their communities.
We're now looking for kind, committed Support Workers to join our team in Great Holm, where we support individuals living across 16 self-contained flats. Here's what some of the people we support say:
Your days will be varied - helping with routines and appointments, joining in on outings and activities, or just being a friendly, reassuring presence when it matters most.
You'll be part of a close-knit, supportive team that values respect, positivity, and getting to know each person well so the support we offer always makes sense to them.
A creative, can-do attitude and a sense of fun
A full UK manual driving licence (essential)
No previous experience? We provide full training and ongoing support to help you thrive in your role. Some people we support are older, so an interest in health and wellbeing is a bonus, but most of all, we're looking for people who care.
Join MacIntyre and help people live life their way, one meaningful day at a time.
#You must be a driver with a manual licence, as you will be driving service vehicles.
