Our priority is to ensure the people we support enjoy the lifestyles they want. You will be supporting adults with a learning disability or autism, people like Joe

• . Here's what he had to say about the type of person he is looking for: -


"My name is Joe and I live with 4 other people,
I like my staff to be fun and creative thinking of fun and exciting activities for us to do.
I enjoy visiting the gym, going on bike rides, visiting the pub, going out for nice meals, bowling, cinema visits, walking, help going to do my personal shopping and visiting my workplace twice a week where I part take in gardening, woodwork, and cleaning and fixing bikes.
All of these are very important to me I like a routine and being busy, this helps me to lead a happy & fulfilled life.
I have a diagnosis of autism. I like to know what is happening and what activities I have planned for each day. I like my staff to be clear when communicating with me and to be patient, encouraging and reassuring".

Working with people like Joe can be a lot of fun and you don't need any experience as we will train you. Joanne took the chance to join MacIntyre and has never looked back

Experience isn't always necessary to become a Support Worker If you have the right attitude, good customer service skills, share our values and are willing to learn, you're likely to be a great fit. We are looking for people who celebrate differences, and we strive to make all our staff feel included, valued and respected.

You'll join our friendly team of Support Workers at one of our small, homely, supported living services in Warrington, to support the people who live there to live their best lives.
