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-loving and motivated person 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?

We are now recruiting for 2 part-time positions for 21 hours per week and 1 part-time position for 16 hours per week.
 

In this role, you will be supporting a young lady to live independently in her own home in Inverness.  This lady is outgoing and enjoys the company of others and you'll be supporting and enabling her to do all the things any young adult would do on a day-to-day basis.

The role of a Support Worker changes every day, but some of the areas you'll support with include personal care, household tasks (cooking and cleaning), mobility support and social support.

A UK driving license is essential for this role.

These roles involve Saturday/Sunday working only and you would work from 9.30am - 11pm, 11pm - 8am (sleepover), then 8am - 10am the next day.
 
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
Your values:
The person we support likes to be supported by people who respect her and her home, but who also like to have fun! 

She likes people who are reliable and honest, so she can build trust and know that you have her best interests at heart.

By encouraging and embracing a range of diverse backgrounds, experiences, capabilities and viewpoints, we will build a stronger, richer, more vibrant workforce, which reflects the people we support, and the communities in which we work. It helps us make better decisions, bring fresh ideas and become a true provider and employer of choice.
