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.

We have recently taken over a long standing service in Elgin where we support 17 individuals at this Service comprising of 12 bedsits and a 3-bed roomed bungalow which 2 people reside. They require various levels of support with learning disabilities, mental health and physical disabilities. We focus on achieving individualised goals, working together to overcome barriers, and ensuring people are living their very best lives. They need to be supported by people who understand their individual needs, and will promote their independence and really make a positive difference to their lives. They each have their own interests and like to take part in lots of activities - from karaoke, baking, BBQs and garden parties - to discos, day trips and holidays. They have all had experience of challenges with their anxieties, past traumas and behaviours. They need support workers to be confident supporting them in these areas. We need to build on their trust to help them feel safe and secure. Their are several support workers on shift each day however we are looking for a member of staff to support one gentleman in his own home for the majority of the hours and the rest of the hours will be in the main building with the other people we support.

Shifts: 10pm to 8am

we need staff to be flexible and be able to work all of the time above

we have a 37 hour post and a 25 hour post.

What We're Looking For

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.
