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 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 with each individual.

8am - 10.30pm | 7.30am - 10am | 2.30pm - 9pm | 10am - 4pm | 6.30pm - 10am next day (Sunday only, includes sleepover) | 10pm - 7.30am (Sleepover)

UK Driving License Required?

What You’ll Be Doing

You’ll be supporting 1 person to live their daily life in the way they want to live it. This means you will provide support in a wide variety of ways, including:

• Prompting with personal care
• Medication Administration and attending appointments
• Home management, including support with cooking, cleaning, shopping and budget management
• Daily activities - anything and everything the person we support likes to do is something you might provide support with! So come ready and willing to put yourself out there and support with going for pub lunches, attending day services, cycling, bowling, going to discos and walking in the park

What We’re Looking For

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: seasoned support workers, Care Assistants, Veterans, those with lived experience, or even total newbies with a passion to care.

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