Community Integrated Care is one of the UK’s largest health and social care charities. We work hard enriching the lives of the people we support with many different care needs. It’s exciting and rewarding work, and we’re full of pride and passion for what we do.

Since the early days, we’ve grown to provide many innovative and bespoke care services to thousands of people across England and Scotland. We want to provide support based on the principles of choice, dignity and respect. This resonates in our vision of ‘Your Life, Your Choice’ and our strategy ‘Best Lives, Bolder’.

We have strong values and we’re proud to pioneer new ways of delivering social care to stand out in our sector. In the past two years, we have won or made the shortlist for over 100 national and regional awards!

We are also focused on our people. Our Support Workers are dedicated and passionate about going ‘the extra mile’ for the people we support and in return, we go the extra mile for them by investing in pay, recognition, wellbeing and continued professional and personal development. We will provide you with all the training, support and PPE you need in your role and will help you develop, should you decide you want to further your career with us.

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

Strong experience in mental health, autism and sensory communication, and physical health is important. It's best to have experience in using PBS methods, but we will support you to gain qualifications whilst working in service anyway.

We will help you to develop your talents with a range of specialist training, including the opportunity to learn Positive Behaviour Support methods (PBS), Makaton and the Picture Exchange System.

During the recruitment process, you will get to meet the people we support in a nearby service. This will allow you to see their wonderful personalities first‑hand and fully understand the level of support that they require.

The people we support are unique, and have support needs ranging from learning disabilities, autism, epilepsy, mental health, and other complex needs, which could mean that they sometimes display behaviours that can challenge. It's our mission to ensure the people we support can, and do, lead their best life possible!

You will know how to connect with people and be passionate about supporting people to live independently. You will also be a brilliant team player and share your skills and experiences with your colleagues.

About you:

Naturally it is important too that you share our company values - We Include; We Deliver; We Aspire; We Respect; We Enable, which are at the heart of everything we do and ensure that we deliver high quality, consistent care and support.

People’s values are important to use, so we look for people with:

Great social skills, it's important that you can develop relationships with the people we support, and their family and friends too.

You will need to be fun and sociable, loud and proud! Just like us!

We offer a warm welcome to you, and everyone we meet, so we need you to be confident to do the same!

A Place I belong

Here at Community Integrated Care we aim to be a warm, welcoming and inclusive employer, where all colleagues feel they belong.

We want to an organisation that is truly fair and equal to all – where individual diversity is valued, unique characteristics celebrated and everyone feels able to bring their true selves to work.

By encouraging and embracing a range of diverse backgrounds, experiences, capabilities and viewpoints, we will build a stronger, richer, more vibrant workforce, which reflects the people we support, and the communities in which we work. It helps us make better decisions, bring fresh ideas and become a true provider and employer of choice.

We have a really clear plan to achieve this called A Place I Belong. This publicly sets out the promises we’ve made to achieving this vision and how we will hold ourselves to account to getting there. You can read more about this by clicking here.
