You'll help them develop essential life skills like using public transport, ICT, cooking, money management, and independent living. You may also accompany them to college or work experience placements. It's a varied, people-focused role that brings something new every day.

Making a Real Difference
* Harriet is just one of the many young people whose life has been transformed through No Limits. After being excluded from school due to a speech impediment and social anxiety, Harriet found it difficult to express herself. With the help of our team, she began using a communication device to make choices and structure her day. Her confidence grew and she started doing things independently, including ordering food in a café, something she never imagined she could do.

Today, Harriet is thriving at college and continues to grow in confidence. That's the kind of impact you can have in this role.

About us Mac Intyre is a national charity which supports over 1,200 people with a learning disability and/or autism. We were founded in 1966 by the visionary parent of a child with disabilities and have been growing steadily ever since. We celebrate and develop everyone's unique gifts, talents and contributions.

Perhaps you've been a Support Worker in the social care sector. However, 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.

But it doesn't stop there - throughout your career with us you will have access to our own dedicated in house Learning and Development team, Quality Specialists and HR Teams.
