Are you creative and values-driven, with experience working with children or young people with learning disabilities? Join us as an Extended Curriculum Coordinator at our Children's Homes in beautiful Wingrave, where we support young people with learning disabilities and autism. At MacIntyre, we believe every child has the right to live a meaningful and fulfilling life, and that valuable learning can happen everywhere - not just in the classroom. This is a full-time role (35 hours per week.) About the role This is a key role within our team, where you'll design and deliver activities that promote young people's learning, engagement, and happiness outside of school hours: during evenings, weekends and holidays. You'll get to know each young person and their interests and strengths. From your positive relationships, you'll create personalised programmes that help them grow in confidence, develop life skills and explore new experiences. Whether it's organising trips, cooking sessions, creative or cultural events, your creativity will support young people's personal development in real and lasting ways. You'll also balance fun with practical considerations, such as budgets, resourcing activities, and providing evidence for learning. You will work closely with our dedicated therapy team, which includes an occupational therapist, a speech and language therapist, and a therapy assistant. MacIntyre School and Children's Homes offer a wide range of facilities for you to use in your role, including a sensory room, bouldering wall, trampoline, and ball pool. You'll also be supported in transforming spaces like our hall and drama room into lively, engaging environments for youth clubs and cultural events. A key part of your role will involve empowering young people to express themselves using their preferred methods of communication, including through participation in young people's meetings. Alongside the Registered Manager and wider team, you'll ensure activities are inclusive, evaluated effectively, and in line with each young person's learning targets. About you You'll be someone who promotes a positive, supportive attitude to learning. You'll have: Experience with children or young people with learning disabilities and/or autism Both a creative and practical approach to planning and delivering meaningful activities The ability to work flexibly, including evenings and weekends Strong communication skills and a commitment to involving young people in shaping their own lives Above all, you'll share our core values: respect, compassion, ambition and partnership. You must have a UK manual driving licence. Who are we? At MacIntyre School, we have four modern houses within the school campus adjacent to the heart of the village of Wingrave. Each house accommodates up to five young people in their own bedrooms, decorated and equipped to their individual tastes. The homes are registered in pairs, and staffed by large teams led by experienced Registered Managers. We're absolutely delighted to announce that following our recent Ofsted inspection, our Children's Homes were awarded a glowing 'Good' rating! The inspectors had some truly wonderful feedback, including: "Staff value children's voices and use individualised communication aids creatively to gain children's views. For example, one child is helped to express their views through story telling. Staff work with the organisations' therapists to help children to develop their vocabulary. Children can regularly give their views on the home including activities, room décor and foods." "Staff are attentive to children, and they respond promptly to help children calm when they are upset. Staff use known calming strategies, such as fragrances and massage, to help children feel better. Staff seek out ways to reduce restrictions for children, such as replacing a mechanical walking restraint with an object of reference. One professional said, 'Staff have good insight into the underlying reasons for a child's distress and work well to reduce incidents for them.'" Pay and Rewards We provide a range of benefits to reward and thank our staff which includes: Six weeks' annual leave including statutory public holidays Workplace Pension scheme - MacIntyre will contribute 3% of your salary to all eligible employees MacIntyre Staff Savings Scheme Employee Assistance Plan (EAP) to support your health and wellbeing Health Cash Plan which provides money back on core health treatments such as: optical, dental, physiotherapy, chiropody (at reduced cost) MacIntyre Sick Pay (qualifying period) Life assurance scheme offering valuable benefits to your dependents MacIntyre Rewards Scheme which recognises and rewards staff MacIntyre Perks which offers up to 6% discount off leading retailers including Tesco, Curry/PC World, Costa and many more Access to the Blue Light Card which offers thousands of amazing discounts online and on the high street for emergency and social care staff.

Are you creative and values-driven, with experience working with children or young people with learning disabilities? Join us as an Extended Curriculum Coordinator at our Children's Homes in beautiful Wingrave, where we support young people with learning disabilities and autism. At MacIntyre, we believe every child has the right to live a meaningful and fulfilling life, and that valuable learning can happen everywhere - not just in the classroom. This is a full-time role (35 hours per week.) About the role This is a key role within our team, where you'll design and deliver activities that promote young people's learning, engagement, and happiness outside of school hours: during evenings, weekends and holidays. You'll get to know each young person and their interests and strengths. From your positive relationships, you'll create personalised programmes that help them grow in confidence, develop life skills and explore new experiences. Whether it's organising trips, cooking sessions, creative or cultural events, your creativity will support young people's personal development in real and lasting ways. You'll also balance fun with practical considerations, such as budgets, resourcing activities, and providing evidence for learning. You will work closely with our dedicated therapy team, which includes an occupational therapist, a speech and language therapist, and a therapy assistant. MacIntyre School and Children's Homes offer a wide range of facilities for you to use in your role, including a sensory room, bouldering wall, trampoline, and ball pool. You'll also be supported in transforming spaces like our hall and drama room into lively, engaging environments for youth clubs and cultural events. A key part of your role will involve empowering young people to express themselves using their preferred methods of communication, including through participation in young people's meetings. Alongside the Registered Manager and wider team, you'll ensure activities are inclusive, evaluated effectively, and in line with each young person's learning targets. About you You'll be someone who promotes a positive, supportive attitude to learning. You'll have: Experience with children or young people with learning disabilities and/or autism Both a creative and practical approach to planning and delivering meaningful activities The ability to work flexibly, including evenings and weekends Strong communication skills and a commitment to involving young people in shaping their own lives Above all, you'll share our core values: respect, compassion, ambition and partnership. You must have a UK manual driving licence. Who are we? At MacIntyre School, we have four modern houses within the school campus adjacent to the heart of the village of Wingrave. Each house accommodates up to five young people in their own bedrooms, decorated and equipped to their individual tastes. The homes are registered in pairs, and staffed by large teams led by experienced Registered Managers. We're absolutely delighted to announce that following our recent Ofsted inspection, our Children's Homes were awarded a glowing 'Good' rating! The inspectors had some truly wonderful feedback, including: "Staff value children's voices and use individualised communication aids creatively to gain children's views. For example, one child is helped to express their views through story telling. Staff work with the organisations' therapists to help children to develop their vocabulary. Children can regularly give their views on the home including activities, room décor and foods." "Staff are attentive to children, and they respond promptly to help children calm when they are upset. Staff use known calming strategies, such as fragrances and massage, to help children feel better. Staff seek out ways to reduce restrictions for children, such as replacing a mechanical walking restraint with an object of reference. One professional said, 'Staff have good insight into the underlying reasons for a child's distress and work well to reduce incidents for them.'" Pay and Rewards We provide a range of benefits to reward and thank our staff which includes: Six weeks' annual leave including statutory public holidays Workplace Pension scheme - MacIntyre will contribute 3% of your salary to all eligible employees MacIntyre Staff Savings Scheme Employee Assistance Plan (EAP) to support your health and wellbeing Health Cash Plan which provides money back on core health treatments such as: optical, dental, physiotherapy, chiropody (at reduced cost) MacIntyre Sick Pay (qualifying period) Life assurance scheme offering valuable benefits to your dependents MacIntyre Rewards Scheme which recognises and rewards staff MacIntyre Perks which offers up to 6% discount off leading retailers including Tesco, Curry/PC World, Costa and many more Access to the Blue Light Card which offers thousands of amazing discounts online and on the high street for emergency and social care staff. Enhanced DBS Certificate (cost paid by MacIntyre) Training and Development At Macintyre we fully support your training and development. We know it can be daunting to start a new job, and not everyone learns the same way, so throughout your probation we will provide you with a mixture of eLearning, face-to-face training and mentoring support whilst on the job. But it doesn't stop there - throughout your career with us you will have access to our own dedicated in house Learning and Development team, Quality Specialists and HR Teams.
