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.

Working closely with the Service Leader and Support Worker Team, you will be responsible for supporting vulnerable individuals with mental health concerns, learning disabilities and addiction issues in their day to day lives.

Key Skills and Values

Because of the nature of the support provided, this role can be emotionally and mentally demanding. We’re looking for people who can remain steady under pressure, build trust, respond with empathy and maintain professional boundaries.

Life experience, resilience and a genuine commitment to helping others are essential in this post. This opportunity would suit someone who understands that progress can take time and who is able to offer patient, consistent support that helps people feel safe, respected and empowered in their own homes.

What you’ll do

As a Support Worker, your role will be varied and hands‑on. You will:

• Support with medication, personal care, meal preparation and maintaining a safe home environment
• Provide practical and emotional support with daily living, routines, appointments and community access
• Help individuals manage challenges linked to mental health, addiction and independent living in a safe and respectful way

What makes this role unique?

This is a chance to support people who have faced significant challenges but are determined to live meaningful, fulfilling lives. The right candidate will recognise the importance of being a calm, reliable presence and will take pride in helping people achieve the outcomes that matter to them.

The people we support enjoy a range of everyday activities including swimming, baking, walks, music and football, and value support workers who are willing to engage, encourage and share in those moments.

If you are compassionate, emotionally mature and a good listener, this could be a genuinely rewarding role. The people we support value honest relationships, meaningful conversation and support from someone who brings patience, understanding and consistency.

We welcome applications from people who can bring resilience, common sense and real‑life experience to a role that requires both heart and professionalism.

About you:

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: Care Assistants, Support Workers, NHS or Prison Service staff with experience in addiction, mental health or complex care support. We would also welcome applications from resilient individuals with transferrable skills from other sectors as we will provide all the training you need to be successful in your role.

We’re proud to be an Equal Opportunities and Disability Confident employer.
