Support Worker, Healthcare Nursing

Support and Inspire:
Join our team as a Relief Support Worker in Warrington!

Are you a dedicated Support Worker seeking flexible hours and a meaningful role? We're looking for people with a passion for support work to join our friendly team at our welcoming supported living service.

• Flexible
  
  Hours:
  
  Enjoy the flexibility of relief shifts that fit around your schedule, encouraging you to work the days that suits you.
• Professional Development:
  Receive comprehensive training and support towards professional qualifications and personal development, just like our permanent staff.
• Career Progression:
  While we offer flexible contracts, over 95% of our team members are on permanent contracts, and we will support you to apply for one if the time is right for you.
• Job Security:
  As a Relief Worker, you'll help cover shifts due to annual leave and staff absences, with your manager balancing service needs and your work-life balance.

You’ll be supporting adults with learning disabilities and autism, helping them lead fulfilling lives, supporting across the hub, where no two days are the same.

We're looking for flexible team members to cover a variety of shifts – early mornings, late evenings, and 24/7 support, including weekends and bank holidays. Sleep-in shifts are paid at £60 per night.

A driving licence is desirable but not essential.

Joanne, who made the leap from a different industry, shares her journey:
"I joined Mac Intyre three years ago with no prior experience in support work, and it's been a whirlwind ever since! Every day, I get to dive into fun activities with the incredible people who draw on Mac Intyre's support. From laughter-filled outings to creative projects, I find fulfilment in every moment. It's not just a job; it's a passion, and I can't imagine doing anything else!"

If you're ready to make a positive impact in the lives of others, we'd love to hear from you.

Experience isn't always necessary to become a Support Worker. If you have the right attitude, good customer service skills, share our values and are willing to learn, you're likely to be a great fit. We are looking for people who celebrate differences, and we strive to make all our staff feel included, valued and respected.

We are currently unable to offer sponsor ships as we await further guidance from the Home Office. Applications requiring sponsorship cannot be considered at this time. We appreciate your understanding.

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.

At Macintyre we fully support your training and development. We know it can be daunting to start a new job, and not everyone learns the same way, so throughout your probation we will provide you with a mixture of eLearning, face-to-face training and mentoring support whilst on the job.

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. These teams, along with your Manager, will provide you with opportunities to learn and develop professionally as well as enabling and supporting you to achieve professional qualifications and career progression opportunities - all free of charge.
