Careers
Working at MacIntyre isn’t just another job. It’s rewarding, inspiring, exciting and it gives you the chance to make a real, positive impact on people’s lives.
What will your job involve? Well, each day is different when you work at MacIntyre. You could work at our school, one of our learning centres, residential services, or in the community, but wherever you are based, you will be supporting children, young people or adults who have autism or a learning disability to live a life that makes sense to them.
We also have regular specialist and management vacancies, or opportunities in our central business support teams, for example in finance, or learning and development.
Whatever your role, we all work together to celebrate each person’s unique gifts, talents and contributions.
Experience isn’t always necessary. If you have the right personal qualities and share our values, you are likely to be a great fit. We provide a full induction, free training programme and the day-to-day back-up of your team and line manager.
For our selection process you will submit brief details on our application form, together with your CV. If shortlisted, we will invite you to an interview and (in most cases) to meet the people you will be supporting.
Our minimum recruitment checks include two or more recent references, an enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service check (which MacIntyre pays for), and a health check. Of course we will also need to see original documents that prove your right to work in the UK. If you’ve lived overseas for more than six months in the last five years (no matter what your nationality) we will also ask you to obtain an overseas police check.
We will work with you to make sure these checks are completed as quickly as possible, and will keep you up to date with progress. On average, people join us within 40 days of applying.
“The people we support are amazing, the staff are brilliant, every day is different and the way MacIntyre celebrates their staff is like no other. It’s amazing!”

I did customer services in a call centre for about 14 years. Support work was a complete change. It was a brilliant choice. I was amazed at the amount of training that we go through. So I would say: try it. It might change your life like it did mine. I am very privileged to love coming to work and that's a very, very rare thing nowadays.
