Deputy Manager

Has your experience as a support worker given you an understanding of how a great team can really impact on the lives of the people you support? Are you ready for the next step in your social care career? We want to hear about your ideas and how you could put them into practice.

We are looking for a fun, energetic and flexible deputy to work alongside the Frontline Manager. This role is varied with no two days being the same. As well as deputising for the Manager, you will also be managing rotas, mentoring, training and coaching staff. You will oversee the smooth running and delivery of our personalised services, in line with our vision: for all people with a learning disability to live a life that makes sense to them.

You will work closely with the people we support, their families and both internal and external specialist services. You'll actively promote MacIntyre and develop links with the local community. Above all, you will put the people we support at the heart of everything you do.

You will be joining a team who will support two young ladies with learning disabilities to live in their own home in Aylesbury. Amy and Holly were pupils at the MacIntyre school in Wingrave, so they know each other well and have great fun together. They are both huge fans of Peppa Pig and enjoy arts and crafts and playing draughts. They love to go shopping together so you will be supporting them to get to know the town.

As you get to know them as individuals you will support them to build a routine of activities that allows them to thrive in this next stage of their lives. Experience isn’t always necessary. If you have the right attitude, good customer service skills, share our values and are willing to learn, you’ll likely 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 will need to be a driver.

MacIntyre is a national charity which supports over 1,200 people with a learning disability and/or autism. We were founded in 1966 by the visionary parent of a child with disabilities and have been growing steadily ever since. We celebrate and develop everyone’s unique gifts, talents and contributions. MacIntyre safeguards and promotes the welfare of the children, young people and adults we support. Therefore we work with successful candidates to complete appropriate checks prior to joining.

MacIntyre is committed to promoting equality, encouraging diversity and embracing inclusion among our workforce. We want our workforce to be truly representative of all sections of society and the people we support.
