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:

We are currently recruiting for BankSupport Workers to join our Alva team where we support 7 individuals who live in their own self-contained flats, helping them to live as independently as possible. Here we support gentlemen and ladies ranging from 19-48 in age so we're looking for applicants who are motivated, fun and enthusiastic! The people we support have faced a lot of challenges in the past because of their learning disabilities, mental health concerns and general health, but this hasn’t stopped them from enjoying life! They enjoy lots of activities, including cycling, going to the gym, walking, going to the pub, having a boogie, listening to music and cooking up a storm. 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. This can include:

• Supporting them with medication
• Cooking
• Assisting and prompting with personal care
• Maintaining the homes of people supported and managing their finances

Our team provide support 24 hours a day, so we are looking for staff who work a mixture of day shifts and waking nights, including some weekends.
