About Community Integrated Care

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.

You’ll be supporting up to four people aged between 47 and 73 who share a welcoming home in a peaceful residential area of Waterlooville. This is a service where relationships are at the centre of everyday life, creating a close-knit, family atmosphere where people genuinely enjoy spending time together and supporting one another.

The people who live here have a range of support needs, including autism, learning disabilities, epilepsy, mental health needs, cerebral palsy and dysphagia. While everyone is unique, what they all share is a love of life, a strong sense of individuality, and a desire to be respected for who they are.

This is a home full of personality. People enjoy music, dancing, cooking, parties, garden games, BBQs and spending time out in the community. Family and friendships are incredibly important, and the team takes pride in ensuring loved ones always feel welcomed and included.

The home itself is bright, spacious and comfortable, with modern facilities and shared spaces where people can relax, socialise and enjoy activities together. Located close to local shops, community facilities and public transport, there are plenty of opportunities to stay connected to the local area. People also enjoy trips further afield, including shopping in Fareham, days out in Southsea, and exploring Portsmouth’s seafront, restaurants and attractions.

You’ll be joining a team of around 20 colleagues who are passionate about providing person-centred support. No two days are the same, and whether you’re supporting someone to attend an appointment, enjoy a favourite activity, develop independence, or simply have a great day, you’ll play a vital role in helping people live the lives they choose.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Building positive, meaningful relationships with the people you support
• Supporting people with daily living skills and routines
• Assisting with personal care and medication where required
• Supporting people to access community activities and social opportunities
• Encouraging independence, choice and confidence
• Promoting emotional wellbeing and positive outcomes
• Working collaboratively with colleagues to deliver high-quality support
• Supporting people to achieve their personal goals and aspirations

What We’re Looking For

We’re looking for someone who shares our belief that everyone deserves to live a happy, fulfilling life.

You don’t need years of experience to be successful in this role. What matters most is your attitude, values and willingness to support people in a person-centred way.

You’ll Be Someone Who Is

• Friendly, caring and approachable
• Respectful of people’s choices and individuality
• Positive, enthusiastic and reliable
• A good communicator and team player
• Patient and understanding
• Motivated to help people achieve their goals
• Committed to delivering high-quality support

We’ll provide all the training you need, along with ongoing development opportunities to help you build a rewarding career in social care.
