Community Integrated Care is one of the UK’s largest health and social care charities. We work hard to enriching the lives of people 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!

We are also 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.

Who you’ll be supporting & more about the role:
Are you a fun and kind individual who loves going the extra mile to improve the lives of others? 

Is it important for you to have a satisfying job where you feel supported?

If this sounds like you, maybe a Support Worker role with an award-winning charity is the change you’ve been looking for!

We are recruiting for Support Workers to support one lady and two gentlemen who share their house in Alloa. Full time position and for Bank/Casual contracts.  Our team provide support 24 hours a day, so we are looking for flexibility to work a variety of shifts from Monday-Sunday, including some sleepovers and waking nights.

The people we support have faced a lot of challenges in the past because of their learning disabilities, visual impairment and mental health issues, but this hasn’t stopped them from enjoying life! They enjoy lots of activities together, including cycling, spending time in their community, accessing religious groups, going line dancing, pub quizzing and curling.  Individually, the people we support enjoy writing, listening to music, watching movies and chatting.  

The people we support are very motivated and would like to plan a holiday for this year.  They’re always up for trying new things too, so are looking for inventive and supportive people who are up for the challenge.

Our support team are experienced and work well together to ensure the people we support are happy and safe in their own homes.  This can include:

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

Your values:
The people we support like to be supported by people who respect them and their homes, but who also like to have fun! 

We like people who are reliable and honest, so the people we support can build trust and know that you have their best interests at heart.

It’s important that you are reliable and honest and can communicate well with everyone.
