Community Integrated Care is recruiting a Support Worker in the UK to assist two adults in their day‑to‑day lives with 1:1 support. The role involves personal care, medication administration, and helping with cooking, cleaning, shopping, and budgeting in a home setting.

The opportunity and what makes Community Integrated Care a great place to work
Are you a caring and compassionate person looking to build a great career in social care?
Do you love helping people get the best out of their lives?
Then maybe a Support Worker role is for you!
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.
Working closely with the Service Leader and the Support Worker team, you will be responsible for two co‑tenants in their 40s who have lived together at this service for many years. We have a positive relationship but lead very different day‑to‑day lives. Our support needs are individual, and we each require dedicated 1:1 support from separate staff teams.
Both tenants require consistent 1:1 support throughout the day. One tenant is very active, has a rolling gait, follows a SALT plan for safety, and has an epilepsy diagnosis. Strong family involvement is an important part of their life, so maintaining good communication with relatives is essential.
The other tenant also has epilepsy, with frequent seizures, so confidence and training in epilepsy management is vital. A behavioural support plan is in place and must be followed. This tenant has their own vehicle, so support staff must be able to drive.
Our day shifts start from 8am and finish at 10pm sometimes there are shorter days available to cover two to ones. Our sleep shifts starts at 11pm and finishes at 8 am
We are currently recruiting for day shifts and night shifts

For day shifts, yes (for driving house vehicle). Driving license not required for night shifts.

At Community Integrated Care, we know it takes someone special to work in social care and that doesn’t always mean having experience. We hire based on values, welcoming people from all walks of life: seasoned support workers, Care Assistants, Veterans, those with lived experience, or even total newbies with a passion to care.
