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’.

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!
Who you’ll be supporting & more about the role:
We are different in lots of ways (that is what makes us so interesting) with our ages ranging between 54 to 76. Some of us are mobile but some need a little bit of physical assistance to get around our house and out and about. We have some wheelchair users. We have different challenges in our lives which include Dementia, autism and learning disabilities.
We have a staff team who are all trained and familiar with supporting someone with similar needs.
 
  • We enjoy attending our various day centres with support from staff.
  • Other interests we like listening to music, visiting local pubs, and garden centres for lunch. Most of us love to go shopping. Day trips to the seaside and long drives are always on the agenda.
  • We like to do in house activities, arts and crafts, jigsaws and Love to put a Disney Movie on especially at the weekends.
  • We are fun loving, kind, caring, and often like our own personal space.
  • We need the people who support us to be patient, and to understand that at times some of us get very frustrated and we like them to refer to any PBS, or our daily care plan to assist with supporting us in the best way to cope with our individual behaviours and needs.
  • Sometimes it is just trivial things that make us incredibly happy, like a hand massage or having our nails painted.
  • As some of us are nonverbal, being offered choices, and having things explained to us is particularly important, we each have our own format of communication.

Sometimes the people we support really need a male or female person to support them. For this particular role, a  female colleague is required.  This is a genuine occupational requirement as defined by the Equality Act 2010
