Job Description

Looking for a meaningful career where no two days are the same? Welcome to No Limits at MacIntyre.
At MacIntyre, we don't just offer jobs - we offer opportunities to change lives. If you've ever imagined working in education but outside the confines of a traditional classroom, this could be your perfect next step.
No Limits is our innovative education programme for young people aged 16+ with learning disabilities and/or autism. Together, we explore real-world learning - in the community, in work placements, and through personalised support that adapts to each young person's interests and needs.
Your role: guided by people, not systems
We're currently seeking a part-time Community Teaching Facilitators to join our team. This role is term-time only (39 weeks per year), working Monday to Friday, 9:00am-4:36pm for 3 days per week.
In this role, you'll support young people on their journey to independence. You'll help them build confidence, develop essential life skills, and discover their own unique path into adulthood.
You might be supporting someone like Harriet*:
Harriet found the classroom overwhelming. With social anxiety and a speech impediment, she often felt unheard and unsupported. When Harriet joined No Limits, we worked closely with her to understand her communication style, introduce assistive technology, and empower her to make choices in her day-to-day life. Now, she's confidently ordering her own food in cafes and is thriving at college with support from the MacIntyre team.
What we're looking for:
We're not looking for formal teaching experience - we'll provide full training. What really matters is who you are:
Are you warm, energetic and curious about people?
Can you see potential where others see challenge?
Do you believe in listening first, then acting with empathy and creativity?
If yes, you're already speaking our language.
You'll need a full UK manual driving licence, as travel is an essential part of the role.
Why join us?
A role with real variety - every day brings something new
The chance to work 1:1 or in small groups with young people in their own communities
Ongoing training and development in a supportive, values-led organisation
The opportunity to be part of a team that puts relationships and respect at the heart of everything we do
This is more than a job. It's a chance to be someone who makes a difference, helping young people grow in confidence, build independence, and feel proud of who they are.
If you're ready to start a career where you matter as much as the people you support, we'd love to hear from you.

About you
Experience is not essential. For us, underlying ability and attitude are just as important as background and experience.
If you have not worked in the field of education before then please don't be put off. We can provide all of the specialist training you need, but we can't train you to have initiative, to be friendly and patient, and those are essential qualities for this work.
You must be a driver with a UK Manual Driving Licence and have your own transport, willing and able to travel across the area, supporting young people from their own homes. Reasonable mileage is reimbursed.
GCSEs (or equivalent) minimum C grade in English and Mathematics are essential.
Some more things you need to know:

• Most of your work will be during term-time but there is up to three weeks' training and development commitment during academic holidays
• Some young people require assistance with personal care or medication

About us
MacIntyre is a national charity which supports over 1,200 people with a learning disability and/or autism.

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. These teams, along with your Manager, will provide you with opportunities to learn and develop professionally as well as enabling and supporting you to achieve professional qualifications and career progression opportunities - all free of charge.
