Overview

Working as a Support Worker for MacIntyre Care is more rewarding than you think. Seeing YOUR personal impact is most heartfelt and unforgettable feeling in the world. We love what we do and are recognised as an award winning charity for our passion and dedication. Join us as a Support Worker (experienced or not) in Ellesemere Port and you'll soon see why Outline of Role This MacIntyre service in Ellesmere Port houses four people (aged between 44 and 70) with learning disabilities and you will play a key part in assisting the people we support to live as independently as possible and become part of the local community. They enjoy attending shows and going to the cinema, going on holiday (here and abroad), train journeys and discos, all of which you will be expected to join in with and find common interests that you can share. Other hobbies include: Motorbikes, Musical likes (Elvis Presley, Status Quo, Showaddywaddy), TV classics like Prisoner Cell block H, days out, parties, and visiting family. What's not to enjoy? Because of their learning disabilities, some people require help with personal care. They can display behaviours of concern but we will give you full training in how to facilitate positive behaviour. There will also be day-to-day advice and help from your Head of Service (Frontline Manager) and other Senior Practitioners. You will be on a rota system which includes days, evenings, nights, weekends and bank holidays. This really is a wonderful opportunity to make a positive difference to someone's life. About us We are an Award winning Charity that has the core belief that everyone has potential, something to offer and a valuable contribution to make to their community. We use a person centered approach to keep the people we support safe, happy and healthy and to ensure each individual is able to live a life that makes sense to them. Using a Positive Behavior Support strategy ensures we see the person first, not their disability.
