Ready to Take the Next Step in Your Social Care Career? Become a Senior Support Worker with MacIntyre
Please note: shortlisted candidates will be contacted from the week commencing 1 June 2026 onwards.
Are you passionate about supporting others and ready to develop your career? At MacIntyre, you’ll combine hands‑on support work with opportunities to lead, guide, and inspire others. You’ll continue making a real difference in people’s lives while building your confidence, leadership skills, and experience within a supportive team.
About the Role
This role is shared between two services, supporting adults aged 40 to 65 to live as independently as possible. Each day brings variety.
- Support someone to join a local activity or try something new
- Help with daily routines and personal goals
- Promote independence and wellbeing
- Listen, share a laugh, and brighten someone’s day
You’ll also take on leadership tasks, including planning rotas, supervising team members, assisting with recruitment and induction, and stepping in for the frontline manager when needed.
Training and Support
Some people may need help with personal care, medication, or managing challenging behaviour. You’ll receive full training and ongoing support to feel confident in your role.
Working Hours
Shift-based role including early and late shifts, weekends, bank holidays, and sleep‑ins. Example shifts: 07:30–15:00 and 14:30–22:00. Rotas are carefully planned to support work‑life balance.
