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.

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

Working closely with the Service Leader and the Support Worker team, you will be responsible for supporting 4 vulnerable individuals (3 men and 1 lady) in their day to day lives. Each person we support is unique, so the support you provide will be person-centred and will focus on achieving the best lives possible for each individual.

Our Shifts: Days - between 8am - 10pm | 10pm - 8am (Waking Nights)

Shift Requirement: We are recruiting for day shifts at this time - this will involve working different days each week, including some weekend work

Contract: 30 hour permanent contract

UK Driving License Required? A driving license would be great but it's not mandatory

What You'll Be Doing

The individuals we support have faced a lot of challenges in the past because of their learning disabilities, but this hasn’t stopped them from enjoying life! They enjoy lots of activities, including going to the movies, taking walks in the park, visiting aquariums, visiting ice cream shops, going swimming and going to coffee mornings. However, they’re always up for trying new things, so are looking for inventive people who are up for the challenge.

Our support team are very diverse and work well together to ensure the people we support are happy and safe in their own homes.
