Community Integrated Care is one of the UK’s largest health and social care charities. We work hard enriching the lives of the people we support, with many different care needs. It’s exciting and rewarding work, and we’re full of pride and passion for what we do!
Since the early days, we’ve grown to provide many innovative and bespoke care services to thousands of people across England and Scotland. We want to provide support based on the principles of choice, dignity and respect. This resonates in our vision of ‘Your Life, Your Choice’ and our strategy ‘Best Lives Possible’.
Who you’ll be supporting & more about the role:
We have strong values and we’re proud to pioneer new ways of delivering social care to stand out in our sector. In the past two years, we have won or made the shortlist for over 100 national and regional awards!
We are focused on our people. Our Support Workers are dedicated and passionate about going ‘the extra mile’ for the people we support and in return, we go the extra mile for them by investing in pay, recognition, wellbeing and continued professional and personal development. We will provide you with all the training, support and personal protective equipment you need in your role and will help you develop, should you decide you want to develop your career with us.
'The sky's the limit' - that's the motto of the team and people we support at this dynamic and fun filled service! The people we support like to be out in the community, having fun! They enjoy many outdoor activities, including walking, visiting gardens, day trips to the seaside, and much more! The also enjoy swimming and shopping as well!
They need you to be able to use your own initiative, be creative and most importantly be fun! Your specialist training will involve moving and handling, as some of the people we support mobilise using wheelchairs, and they also need your support with personal care and medication.
