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

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?

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

In this role, you will be supporting two young men with learning disabilities to live independently in their own homes in Aberchirder. These young men are outgoing, fun-loving guys who enjoy going out to the movies and theatre, playing football and enjoy the company of others and you'll be supporting and enabling them 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) and social support. You will receive full, paid training in this role so you’ll learn everything you need to know with us.

We are currently recruiting for relief staff and the shift patterns are generally:

• 9am - 9am (includes sleepover)
• 9am - 3pm (weekends)
• 4.30pm - 9.30pm (weekdays)

A UK Driving License Is Essential For This Role.

We know it takes a special person to work in social care and we recognise that not everyone that would be perfect for the role, will have professional experience. This is why we’re really passionate about recruiting people from all walks of life; from people with vast experience in a support worker or care assistant role, from people with lived experiences who may have friends or relatives with disabilities or have looked after older relatives, to people with no experience at all.

• Patience
• Empathy, compassion and sensitivity to others
• A strong work ethic
• Reliability
• Honesty
• Determination
