Community Integrated Care is one of the UK’s largest health and social care charities. We work hard to enriching the lives of people 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 Possible’.

We are currently recruiting for a part-time role for 37.5 hour post and a 15 hour post per week to join our dedicated team in Donald Dewar Court, Aberdeen.

In this service, we support 7 individuals who live in two purpose-built bungalows with their own gardens. The people we support all have different needs, including requiring some assistance with their mobility, personal care and to manage their day to day lives and maintain their own homes.

They have a wide range of interests and hobbies, which include spending time in their gardens (they have a trampoline and a swing), colouring in, horse riding, going for walks, going to the pub and enjoying meals out with friends.

We provide support 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, so there will be an expectation of some weekend work. Our shift patterns are: 7am - 2.30pm - 2.15pm - 9.45pm - Waking nights (these are usually covered by a dedicated waking night team) and sleepovers.

Due to the needs of the people we support, a full UK driving licence and ability to drive a manual vehicle is essential for this role. To be able to enrol on the company insurance, you must also be over 25 years old.
