Job Introduction

Support Worker
Location: St Agnes
Salary: £12.64 – £12.92 + £60 per sleep-in shift
Hours: Flexible shifts on a 24/7 rota (planned in advance) 

About the role

 
As a Support Worker at Brandon Trust, you’ll be part of something meaningful—supporting autistic people and people with learning disabilities to live life in the way that suits them best. Whether it’s helping someone pursue a new hobby, build routines, plan a trip, attend their work, maintain their house or simply enjoy their day, you’ll be working alongside them to make it happen. 

You’ll support with day-to-day activities like shopping, cooking, and managing health needs—always led by the person’s own preferences and goals.

You’ll also support with personal care. This means helping people with washing, dressing, and other essential personal routines. It’s a vital part of enabling people to live with dignity, choice, and independence. Personal care is always delivered in a respectful and person-centred way, in line with each individual's needs and preferences.

No two days are the same, and every day brings the opportunity to be part of someone’s progress and independence.

Why this role matters

 
You’ll be joining people on their own journeys—whether that’s growing in confidence, building friendships, or trying something new. You’ll see the real impact of your support and share in the everyday moments that matter most. 

This is work with purpose. You’ll be part of a supportive team that values respect, individuality, and connection.

What we’re looking for

• A kind and thoughtful approach rooted in empathy and respect
• A genuine interest in other people’s lives, routines, and goals
• Strong communication skills and the ability to work well in a team
• A positive attitude and a willingness to learn
• A commitment to inclusion and celebrating what makes each person unique
• A full UK driving licence

No experience? That’s okay.

 
Your values and behaviours matter more than your background. If you're someone who listens well, treats others with respect, and genuinely wants to support people to live their lives, we’ll provide everything you need to succeed. With full training, ongoing support, and development opportunities, you’ll be supported every step of the way. 

About us
Brandon Trust is a charity supporting people with learning disabilities and autism to live life to the full. We work alongside people to help them make choices, be heard, and thrive in their communities. 

We’re committed to building a diverse team and an inclusive workplace. If you need any adjustments during the application or interview process, just let us know—we’re here to support you too.

Job Description

Join Our Compassionate Team as a Support Worker in Crownhill, Milton Keynes

Full-time Make a real difference every day while working with a team that truly cares

At MacIntyre, we believe that everyone deserves the chance to live a life full of purpose, joy and independence. In our welcoming home in Crownhill, we are looking for kind, caring and committed Support Workers to join a team that is passionate about making every day matter.

Working in Crownhill means being part of a close, supportive team where no one is ever on their own. Together, we empower people with learning disabilities and/or autism to live life on their own terms, making choices, building confidence and doing the things they love.

Whether you are supporting someone to enjoy time in the garden, go for a walk, or plan a special day out, you will be doing it as part of a team that truly cares. Some of the people we support do not communicate verbally, so we work closely together to listen with patience and understanding, building trust and genuine connections.

You will also support with daily routines, including personal care and household tasks, but always with the goal of promoting independence - encouraging people to do as much as they can for themselves, with just the right level of support.

You do not need experience to apply, just compassion, reliability, and the willingness to work as part of a team that lifts each other up. We will give you all the training and encouragement you need to thrive. A UK manual driving licence is required.

Shifts are on a rota basis and include mornings, evenings, weekends and bank holidays. Typical shifts run from 7:30 to 15:00 or 14:30 to 22:00. Sleep-ins are also worked about once a week and are paid at a rate of £60 per sleep-in. We are recruiting for full time Support Workers.

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