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.

As a multi-award winning charity we ensure our colleagues and the people we support live the best lives possible. In 2025, we launched our new strategy - Best Lives, Bolder.

We are a diverse and vibrant group of eight people aged 18 to 44, each with our own interests, goals, and aspirations, located in WN8 postal code (Skelmersdale, Wigan).

We all have different strengths and support needs, ranging from one-to-one support to core support. With the right support, we enjoy living as independently as possible, managing our homes, accessing our community, developing life skills, and making choices about how we live our lives.

Our support is tailored to us as individuals, helping us understand information, communicate our views, and achieve the things that matter most to us.

Our dedicated team is highly trained in areas including medication, moving and positioning, epilepsy, ligature awareness, and Positive Behaviour Support (PBS), ensuring we receive safe, responsive, and person-centred support every day.

What You'll Be Doing

We currently have five staff members on shift during the day. In emergency situations, we can safely operate with a minimum of three staff members, although this would mean providing only essential support.

During the night, there is one support worker on duty to ensure the safety and wellbeing of the people we support.

We operate a range of shifts, with start times between 8:00am and 10:00am. Shifts finish either between 3:00pm and 4:00pm or between 10:00pm and 11:00pm.

You will need to be a driver with a Full UK Manual License for this role.

What We're Looking For

We know it takes a special person to work in social care and we recognise that not everyone that would be perfect for the role, will have professional experience.

This is why we’re really passionate about recruiting to individuals’ values and we recruit people from all walks of life; From people with vast experience in a support worker or care assistant role, from people with lived experiences who may have friends or relatives with disabilities or have looked after older relatives, to people with no experience at all.

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:

• Patience
• Empathy, compassion and sensitivity to others
• A strong work ethic
• Reliability
• Honesty
• Determination
• A problem solver
• Resilience

It helps us make better decisions, bring fresh ideas and become a true provider and employer of choice.
