Community Integrated Care is one of the UK’s largest health and social care charities. We transform lives by delivering high-quality, person-centred support that fosters independence and empowerment.

Our charity was founded in 1988 and we were one of the pioneers of the ‘Care in the Community’ agenda, enabling people to move out of long-stay institutions and live more fulfilling lives.

Since then, we’ve remained leaders in social care, providing bespoke support to thousands across the UK. Today, we support more than 2,600 people and employ 6,600 caring and committed colleagues across England and Scotland.

We have a proud history of breaking boundaries and are always looking for new ways to make a positive difference through bold ideas, innovative projects and impactful partnerships.

Who you’ll be supporting & more about the role:

Who will you be supporting:

• I’m in my 30's now and currently live in my own home where you will support me to live my best life possible.

• I have Autism but my condition doesn’t define me, it just makes me the individual I am – but I would need you to have had some good prior experience of supporting people a bit like me so that you can understand me a little better. It’ll just make things a little easier for both of us.
• I am Muslim and my religion and culture is important to me. I would like you to respect this.

What is important to me/ What I enjoy:

• I really love being active, whether that’s heading out swimming, go-karting, or just getting out and about into the community when the sun is shining.
• I also love cars, and especially enjoy playing car racing video games – in fact, I often take part in on-line tournaments – I might need your help, and support, when I’m in race-mode!
• I’m also chatty, and like it when people spend time talking with me.

Other information:

• I am looking for full time support from a group of individuals with experience in challenging behaviours and autism, it is important that you understand me and my daily challenges to help us both enjoy our time together
• There are open spaces nearby and access to public transport is accessible at the end of the road.
• I live near to Meadowhall which I like to visit and walk around.
