Job Description
A Role Where Kindness and Connection Are at the Heart of Everything You Do
Relief Support Worker – Supported Living & Outreach | Milton Keynes
At MacIntyre, we believe everyone deserves a life that feels meaningful, connected and full of possibility. If you’re someone who cares deeply about others and wants your work to make a lasting, positive impact, this relief role could be exactly what you’ve been looking for.
We’re looking for compassionate, reliable and warm-hearted Relief Support Workers to join our small, friendly team in Milton Keynes, supporting six wonderful people with learning disabilities across both supported living and outreach services. The relief position would be ideal for those seeking flexibility while still making a real difference.
Why This Role Matters
Every shift you work will contribute to moments that genuinely matter. As a Relief Support Worker, you’ll help ensure continuity of care and support, whether that’s offering encouragement during daily routines, supporting health and wellbeing, or creating opportunities for fun, independence and connection.
You might find yourself cooking together, planning a day out, offering guidance around tenancy responsibilities, or simply sharing a chat over a cup of tea. From bowling trips and pub visits to shopping, holidays and time with friends, the people we support live rich, joyful lives — and you’ll play a key role in making those experiences happen.
Working Hours That Offer Variety and Balance
Although this is a relief (non-permanent) role, you will work across a range of established shifts within our supported living and outreach services, depending on service needs.
- Weekday supported living shifts:15:30 to 22:00, followed by a sleep-in, then 07:30 to 09:30.
The two people you’ll support attend our Life Long Learning provision each day, giving mornings a clear routine. - Weekend shifts:07:30 to 15:00 and 14:30 to 22:00.
- Short outreach shifts:09:00 to 12:00 or 16:00 to 20:00.
This role suits someone who values flexibility, enjoys varied work patterns, and is confident working both independently and as part of a small, supportive team.
What We’re Looking For
You don’t need previous experience. We’re far more interested in your values. If you are kind, patient, understanding, adaptable, able to work independently, willing to learn, and motivated to help others live as independently and joyfully as possible, we’ll provide all the training and guidance you need.
Why Join MacIntyre?
You won’t just be covering shifts, you’ll be building relationships that matter. You’ll join an organisation that truly lives its values, celebrates individuality, and puts people at the centre of everything we do.
If you’re looking for a flexible, non-permanent role where your compassion can shine, your presence truly matters, and no two days ever feel the same, we’d love to hear from you.
Take the next step. Your kindness could change someone’s life, one meaningful moment at a time.
Please note, we are currently unable to offer sponsorships as we await further guidance from the Home Office. Applications requiring sponsorship cannot be considered at this time. We appreciate your understanding.
