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

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.

We are an award winning home, and have won at The Great British Care Awards, as well as, the We Dare Awards.

We live in a beautiful residential home and we love our garden and spend a lot of time in it. We love to be busy.

We have a range of needs from complex learning disabilities and autism to physical disabilities. We have an established staff team who know us very well and are all trained and familiar with our routines.

• In 2018, we started a huge garden project that transformed our garden, we take good care of it and love spending time in it. BBQ season truly takes over.
• We love our photos! Always taking pictures and creating memory books.
• We are adaptable and flexible as a team, no task is to big, we are enthusiastic, willing and positive and we support each other.
• We support people to access a variety community facilities and person‑centred activities. We are always coming up with new things to try.
• We love swimming, and one of us goes most days, so we need you to have a FULL MANUAL DRIVING LICENCE, so that you can take us out and about in our minibus.

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 to individuals’ values and we recruit 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.

We include;
We Deliver;
We Aspire;
We Respect;
We Enable, which are at the heart of everything we do and ensure that we deliver high quality, consistent care and support. People’s values are important to use, so we look for people with:

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