About Community Integrated Care
Community Integrated Care is one of the UK’s largest health and social care charities. We transform lives by delivering high-quality, person-centred support that fosters independence and empowerment.

Our charity was founded in 1988 and we were one of the pioneers of the ‘Care in the Community’ agenda, enabling people to move out of long-stay institutions and live more fulfilling lives.

Since then, we’ve remained leaders in social care, providing bespoke support to thousands across the UK. Today, we support more than 2,600 people and employ 6,600 caring and committed colleagues across England and Scotland.

We have a proud history of breaking boundaries and are always looking for new ways to make a positive difference through bold ideas, innovative projects and impactful partnerships.

Working closely with the Service Leader and Advanced Support Worker Team, you will be responsible for supporting a vulnerable lady in her day to day life.  The lady we support is unique, so the support you provide will be person-centred and will focus on helping her achieve the best life possible.

Our Shifts: 10am - 10pm \| 7.30am – 10am \| 10pm - 7.30am (Sleepovers) - In general, the person on from 10am - 10pm will also work the sleepover at the end of that day

What You'll Be Doing
You’ll be supporting an amazing lady to live her daily life in the way she wants to live it.  This means you will provide support in a wide variety of ways, including:

• Supporting with personal care
• Medication Administration (PEG)
• Home management, including support with cooking, cleaning, shopping and budget management
