Lunchtime Supervisor – Young People with SENLocation: Macintyre Children’s Homes- WingraveHours: 7.5hrs per weekSalary: £12.30 per hour

You’ll help with daily routines such as handwashing, eating and using the bathroom facilities, while also encouraging social skills, independence and fun through inclusive play and positive interaction.

You’ll be a calm, friendly and encouraging presence. You'll be someone who sees the potential in every young person and wants to be part of a team that genuinely cares.

What we’re looking for:

• Someone kind, patient and reliable
• A good communicator and team player

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...

About Shrewsbury School

Independent School of the Year 2020, Shrewsbury has a world-wide reputation for all-round
excellence. Fully co-educational, with a seven-day boarding heartbeat and an integral day
community, the school delivers a distinctive whole person education that develops the abilities
and enthusiasms of each and every pupil.

Founded by Royal Charter in 1552, Shrewsbury
School is one of the ‘great’ seven boarding schools in
England identified by the Clarendon Commission of
1861. Over the centuries it has grown in size and
reputation and is regularly ranked amongst the
leading co-educational boarding schools in the
world. At its most recent ISI Inspection (March 2024),
Shrewsbury was awarded a ‘Significant Strength’
for its partnership and community engagement
programme. In 2025, 77% of A-Level grades achieved
by Salopians were A*-B and 86% of leavers went on to
their first-choice destinations. In the last three years,
Shrewsbury sports teams have won national titles in
cricket, football and rowing. The school also enjoys
a national reputation for music, the performing arts
and service to the community.

Currently educating 845 pupils aged 13-18, 75% of
whom are full boarders, and around three-quarters
UK passport-holders, Shrewsbury delivers a unique
programme of whole person education that is
‘Serious Fun’. Salopians belong to one of 12 integrated
houses (7 boys’ and 5 girls’ houses) on site. As
well as pursuing their academic learning on the
School’s breath-taking 110-acre site on the banks of
the River Severn, pupils also have the opportunity
to participate in a wide range of sporting, music,
drama and co-curricular activities, as well as being
encouraged to engage in adventure, volunteering,
charitable fundraising and partnership work.

The Shrewsbury Family of Schools currently
comprises 9 schools with over 4,500 children being
educated under the Shrewsbury banner in the UK
and overseas. In the UK, there are three Prep Schools
owned and operated by Shrewsbury: Packwood Prep
School (2019), Terra Nova School (2025) and Prestfelde
School (2025). There are currently five Shrewsbury
International Schools – two in Thailand; one in Hong
Kong; one in Cambodia and one in India. There are
active plans to open further international schools in
the coming years.

Shrewsbury is a registered charity with a number of
wholly owned trading companies. It has an annual
income of £40 million (2024) and employs 700 staff
across Shrewsbury School and its three tied prep
schools. It is overseen by a Governing Body which
has up to 19 members. The Governing Body and its
various Sub-Committees meet once a term.

Shrewsbury: For Life

Our school aim is that a Shrewsbury education
will educate and empower each individual pupil
to flourish in life and contribute positively to the
world around them. Shrewsbury offers a distinctive
whole person education – Floreat – that fosters
learning and personal development in four vital
and mutually reinforcing fields: the intellective; the
active; the expressive and the reflective. Through this
distinctive model of education Shrewsbury promotes
the Six Salopian Virtues: wisdom; kindness; courage;
integrity; self-mastery and spirit.

As a learning community, the school pursues
academic passions and personal bests, with the aim
of developing the ‘cultural capital’ of each child
and instilling character strengths, aptitudes and vital
life skills, such as resilience and resourcefulness.
Pro-tech and pro-human, we blend the traditional
with the contemporary, so that each individual is able
to flourish. Whilst championing the individual, we
pursue communal values, social responsibility and
the willingness to be part of something bigger. With a
calm but purposeful atmosphere, Shrewsbury has a
high-participation culture in which each individual is
valued. We believe in the ‘survival of the kindest’.
