Make a difference by supporting people to live their life, their way
Supporting individuals with learning disabilities and mental health means embracing their unique journey. Every day brings new opportunities to explore interests, from a peaceful walk in the park to enjoying a favourite café or engaging in their hobbies. Your role is to empower and connect, helping them navigate life with confidence and independence.
We can teach you everything you need to know about supporting people well. What we can’t teach you, is the stuff that comes from within:
✨ That buzz you get when you celebrate someone’s wins – big or small.
✨ That natural sense of wanting to make someone’s day brighter.
✨ That understanding that climbing a mountain starts with a single step.
In essence, that’s what we are looking for from you.
What does it mean to be a support worker?
Think about your daily routine and what matters to you. If you needed support to keep your day the way you like it, what would be important to you?
In this role, you will:
- Take time to understand what a great day means to the person you support.
- Adjust your approach to meet people’s needs and build on both their strengths and your own.
- Help build a supportive environment that encourages everyone to thrive and gives them the freedom to live their life their way.
People are at the heart of everything we do and as a support worker you will embody our core values by:
Working together
- Respecting the strengths and differences of the people you work with
- Communicating openly and building trust.
- Helping each other to provide the best support possible.
Giving our best
- Being dedicated to making a difference in people’s lives.
- Whether the day was easy or tough, taking responsibility for your actions and focusing on what matters most to those who you support.
Having courage
- Being open to new ideas and approaches.
- Using creativity and flexibility to try different ways of helping others.
- Providing the most effective and adaptable support possible.

About you
You don't need experience for this role at MacIntyre. We’re looking for passionate people who have the right attitude and share our values. If you’re someone who celebrates differences, values inclusion, and is eager to learn, you’ll be a great fit for our team.
Who are we?
At MacIntyre School we have four modern houses within the school campus adjacent to the heart of the village of Wingrave. Each house accommodates up to five young people in their own bedrooms, decorated and equipped to their individual tastes. The homes are registered in pairs, which means you will work over two homes supporting up to ten young people with the support of a large staff team and experienced home managers.
We’re absolutely delighted to announce that following our recent Ofsted inspection, our children's homes were awarded a glowing 'Good' rating! The inspectors had some truly wonderful feedback, including:
"Staff value children's voices and use individualised communication aids creatively to gain children's views. For example, one child is helped to express their views through story telling. Staff work with the organisations' therapists to help children to develop their vocabulary. Children can regularly give their views on the home including activities, room décor and foods."
"Staff are attentive to children, and they respond promptly to help children calm when they are upset. Staff use known calming strategies, such as fragrances and massage, to help children feel better. Staff seek out ways to reduce restrictions for children, such as replacing a mechanical walking restraint with an object of reference. One professional said, ‘Staff have good insight into the underlying reasons for a child’s distress and work well to reduce incidents for them.’"
We celebrate the successes and personal gifts of each child – we want our staff to be aspirational for the young people we support. When presented with new challenges, our teams collaborate to ensure the homes remain a supportive place to come to work.
Training and Development
At Macintyre we fully support your training and development to become the best Support Worker you can be. 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 suppor...

Applications Deadline:
25/02/2026
Interview Date:
23/03/2026
Other Information:
The parish of Biggin Hill (pop. 12,018) is a small town - still referred to by many residents as a 'village' - on the edge of the London Borough of Bromley. It is mainly residential and surrounded by beautiful, open countryside, yet sits within just a few miles of the M25.
The Living is currently suspended to allow for the possibility of future pastoral reorganisation, but the hope is that our new priest will guide the parish towards achieving its full potential and the suspension being lifted.
The ideal candidate will be:
- A prayerful and practical leader, keen to develop the prayer life of the congregation;
- Able to work collaboratively with our enthusiastic ministry team, and have experience enabling others in their discipleship;
- Comfortable leading a wide range of worship styles;
- Creative in extending the use of our church space and facilities;
- Willing to work with a team to establish a Youth Group.
St Mark's Church was dedicated in 1959 and is Grade II Listed. A complete refurbishment of the lighting has recently been completed, enabling a range of lighting arrangements for traditional worship, concerts and other community events. The modern audio-visual system enables Parish Communion services to be live-streamed and recorded, which is very popular.
The Church Hall complex is very well used by a number of local organisations, with a large hall, separate lounge, well-equipped kitchen, meeting room and office.
The adjacent Vicarage is a 4-bedroom family home with a separate study, double garage and good-sized garden providing private and well-screened accommodation.
Sunday Worship takes place at 10.30am, with an All-Age Family Service on the first Sunday and Parish Communion services on other Sundays (USA 50-55). Worship is supported by a choir and band or keyboard player with a mix of hymns and songs. A said Midweek Communion takes place on a Wednesday morning (USA 12). There are also a number of special services held throughout the year. Full details can be seen in the accompanying Parish Profile.
Biggin Hill is renowned for its contribution to WWII when the RAF base within the parish played a key role in defence of Britain. Our priest also acts as Chaplain to St George's RAF Memorial Chapel, taking one service per month in the Chapel as well as supporting and working alongside their ministry team.
You will be supported by an enthusiastic and experienced PCC, a part-time paid Administrator, an LLM-in-training, a Pastoral Visiting Team, and a large number of volunteers who all play a part in regularly organising and planning church activities and outreach (including five who have completed the Hearing and Speaking God's Word course and able to lead worship and/or preach).
