Who you’ll be supporting & more about the role

This role is based in a warm and welcoming service that currently supports four individuals with learning disabilities, with a fifth person joining soon. Each person has their own unique personality, interests, and support needs‑and they’re looking for someone like you to help them live life to the fullest.

You’ll support people to enjoy a wide range of activities, including:

• Visiting zoos, theme parks, and football matches
• Going to the cinema, pantomimes, and swimming
• Exploring interests in trains, airplanes, music, and dancing
• Getting creative with arts and crafts
• Cooking and enjoying good food together

You’ll also support individuals to stay active in the community and maintain their physical health. A full UK manual driving licence is essential, as you’ll be helping with transport to activities and appointments.

Every day is different, and you’ll be part of a team that empowers people to make choices, build independence, and enjoy life on their own terms.

Your values

At Community Integrated Care, we believe that the right values are more important than experience. That’s why we welcome people from all walks of life‑whether you’ve worked in care before, supported a loved one, or are simply looking for a meaningful new career.

We’re looking for individuals who bring a caring nature and a mature, thoughtful outlook to their work. You’ll be someone who is patient, empathetic, and compassionate in your approach, with the resilience and determination to support people through both joyful and challenging moments. Honesty and reliability are key, and we value those who can think on their feet, solve problems calmly, and always put the people we support first.

Our values guide everything we do:

• We Include
• We Deliver
• We Aspire
• We Respect
• We Enable

These values are at the heart of our culture and ensure we deliver high‑quality, consistent care and support. We’re proud to be a warm, welcoming, and inclusive employer, where everyone feels they belong.

Through our "A Place I Belong" strategy, we celebrate diversity and ensure every colleague feels respected and empowered to bring their true selves to work.
