Support Worker

MacIntyre- Milton Keynes

Full Time Support Worker- 38 hours per week

Salary: £13,383 to £16,074* pro rata

At MacIntyre we are currently recruiting for our Milton Keynes service, which provides 24 hour support to adults with learning difficulties. As part of a close team, your role will be to help and encourage each individual we support to live the life they want through an approach which is completely centred around them.

The successful applicants will have a caring value base, and will be comfortable providing physical and emotional support. Your role will be to help facilitate daily activities, which could involve taking a trip out shopping or simply having a chat and a cup of tea.

Experience in social care may be advantageous but not essential, as you will receive a comprehensive induction. This will involve training to help you manage individual behaviours, apply intensive interaction techniques, develop sensory working and ensure person centered working.

A full manual driving licence is essential for the above roles, as is a willingness to drive a company vehicle.

In return for your commitment we offer comprehensive training and career development opportunities, 33 days holiday per year including Bank Holidays (rising after one year’s service) and a generous contributory pension plan.

*Salaries are dependent on qualifications and successful completion of probationary period.

Closing date: 11th May 2012
