Every school day at MacIntyre School starts with the right people in the right place. As our Resource and Logistics Manager, you’ll make that happen.

MacIntyre School is a specialist school for children and young people aged 10-19 with learning disabilities and/or autism. This is a new role, based in our school office, and we’re looking for a calm, organised leader to run our staffing and logistics and manage our administration team. Internal and external applicants are welcome.

What You’ll Do

• Plan, publish and manage the staff timetable, and lead our move to Planday, our new rota system linked to payroll.
• Line manage and support the school administration team.
• Lead on‑call, as first point of contact from 7am on weekdays, solving staffing issues quickly and escalating where needed.
• Book and manage agency staff, keeping cover safe and cost‑effective.
• Manage our school vehicles and book staff training.
• Be the go‑to contact for staff and parents on timetable and staffing queries, keeping accurate records of sickness, leave and additional hours.

What We’re Looking For

• Strong organisation and the confidence to make decisions under pressure.
• Experience of supervising staff and planning rotas or staff timetables.
• Excellent Excel, Word and IT skills. Planday experience is a bonus, but we’ll train you.
• Clear, warm communication with staff, families and external partners.

Working With Us

• 38 hours per week, mainly Monday to Friday, with on‑call cover from 7am on weekdays and occasional flexibility when needed.
• Based in the school office at Wingrave, with travel across our CYP sites as required.
• A new role, so you’ll help shape how the school runs day to day for the young people we support.

If you’re organised, calm under pressure and want your work to make a real difference to children and young people, we want to hear from you.

Who We Are

At MacIntyre Children’s Homes and School , we provide modern, supportive homes and an innovative learning environment for children and young people. Across six homes, each accommodating up to five young people in their own personalised bedrooms, our experienced staff and home managers ensure every child feels safe, valued and empowered.

Learning and development happen throughout the day - at home, at school, and in the community—through life skills, creative arts, physical activity, and community access. We focus on developing communication, functional skills, independence, and confidence, supporting children to participate fully in everyday life.

Following our recent Ofsted inspection, our homes and school were rated ‘Good’. Inspectors praised how staff value children’s voices, use individualised communication aids, and work with therapists to help children express themselves and make choices about activities, room décor, and meals. They also highlighted the team’s proactive approach to supporting emotional wellbeing, using calming strategies, reducing restrictions, and understanding the reasons behind distress.

We celebrate each child’s achievements and unique strengths, and our teams collaborate to meet new challenges, creating homes and learning spaces that are aspirational, safe, and supportive. You will receive specialist training, including in behaviour management and personal care, and be supported to make a real difference every day.
