At Mac Intyre, we don’t just offer jobs — we offer opportunities to change lives
. If you've ever imagined working in education but outside the confines of a traditional classroom, this could be your perfect next step.

No Limits is our innovative education programme for young people aged 16+ with learning disabilities and/or autism. Together, we explore real-world learning — in the community, in work placements, and through personalised support that adapts to each young person’s interests and needs.

This role is term-time only (39 weeks per year), part-time and full-time 3 to 5 days a week,
9am to 4.36pm (7.6 hours per day).

In this role, you’ll support young people on their journey to independence. You’ll help them build confidence, develop essential life skills, and discover their own unique path into adulthood.

You might be supporting someone like Harriet*:

Harriet found the classroom overwhelming. With social anxiety and a speech impediment, she often felt unheard and unsupported. When Harriet joined No Limits, we worked closely with her to understand her communication style, introduce assistive technology, and empower her to make choices in her day-to-day life. Now, she’s confidently ordering her own food in cafés and is thriving at college with support from the Mac Intyre team.

• Are you warm, energetic and curious about people?
• Can you see potential where others see challenge?
• Do you believe in listening first, then acting with empathy and creativity?

If yes, you’re already speaking our language.

You’ll need a full UK manual or automatic driving licence
, as travel is an essential part of the role.

• A role with real variety
  — every day brings something new
• The chance to work 1:1 or in small groups with young people in their own communities
• Ongoing training and development in a supportive, values-led organisation
• The opportunity to be part of a team that puts relationships and respect at the heart of everything we do

This is more than a job. It’s a chance to be someone who makes a difference
, helping young people grow in confidence, build independence, and feel proud of who they are.

If you're ready to start a career where you matter as much as the people you support
, we’d love to hear from you.

Experience is not essential. For us, underlying ability and attitude are just as important as background and experience.

If you have not worked in the field of education before then please don’t be put off. We can provide all of the specialist training you need, but we can't train you to have initiative, to be friendly and patient, and those are essential qualities for this work.

You must be a driver with a UK Manual or Automatic Driving Licence and have your own transport
, willing and able to travel across the area, supporting young people from their own homes. Reasonable mileage is reimbursed.

GCSEs (or equivalent) minimum C grade in English and Mathematics are essential.

• Most of your work will be during term-time but there is up to three weeks' training and development commitment during academic holidays
• Some young people require assistance with personal care or medication

Wherever you're starting from, we'll help you succeed.

Alongside your salary, you'll enjoy a range of benefits including:

• 5.6 weeks' annual leave per year including public holidays
• Pension scheme
• Paid…
