About Community Integrated Care

Community Integrated Care is one of the UK’s largest social care charities, supporting thousands of people to live independently and thrive in their communities.

Since 1988, we’ve been at the forefront of person-centred care, helping people move away from institutional living and into homes where they can enjoy greater choice, dignity and opportunity.

Today, with over 6,600 colleagues across England and Scotland, we continue to lead the way — finding new, creative and impactful ways to improve lives every day.

We're a multi-award winning charity that exists to ensure our colleagues and the people we support live the best lives possible. In 2025, we launched our new strategy - Best Lives, Bolder. Find out more here.

Who you’ll be supporting & more about the role

You’ll be supporting five individuals in a welcoming service in Ringwood, where each person brings their own personality, interests and goals. This is a home full of energy, laughter and variety, where no two days ever look the same.

Life here is active and focused on doing the things people love. From trips to the cinema, swimming and pantomimes, to days out at zoos, theme parks or football matches — there’s always something to look forward to. At home, people enjoy music, dancing, arts and crafts, cooking together and sharing great food.

Your role will be to support people to live as independently as possible while being there when it matters most. This includes supporting daily routines, encouraging healthy lifestyles, and helping people access their community and explore their interests.

This is a hands‑on, person‑centred role where you’ll:

• Build strong relationships and get to know each person really well
• Support with day-to-day living, independence and wellbeing
• Enable people to make choices and try new experiences
• Be part of both the everyday moments and the bigger life goals

What you’ll be doing

• Supporting people with daily routines and independence
• Building positive, meaningful relationships
• Supporting community access and activities
• Encouraging hobbies, interests and new experiences
• Assisting with personal care and medication where required
• Promoting dignity, choice and person-centred support

About you

We’re looking for someone who is:

• Caring, patient and compassionate
• Positive, energetic and enjoys getting involved
• A great communicator and team player
• Reliable, honest and proactive
• Calm and resilient in different situations
• A full UK manual driving licence is essential for this role.

Experience in care is helpful but not essential — we recruit for values, and we’ll support you with all the training you need.
