The Organisation
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.

Who You'll Be Supporting and the Role
The person you support can communicate verbally and is fully mobile. They enjoy singing, drama, dancing, listening to music and watching quiz shows. They like to do their weekly shopping at Sainsburys, are a smoker, are independent around the house and require support staff while out in the community. They enjoy spending time in their room listening to music or watching TV, and they visit their mam once a week and speak on their mobile phone. Having plenty of cigarettes is important to them. They enjoy their Yorkshire tea with honey and digestive biscuits.

There is 1 member of staff on at all times. This is a lone working service.

Staff work 8am to 8pm, with 1 waking night shift working 8pm to 8am.

To support this person to live the best life possible, staff need to be aware of mental health and acquired brain injury. Support staff need to be patient as the person has a short memory due to this. They do not like crowded places and can become anxious and suffer panic attacks.

About You
It takes a special person to work in social care, and not everyone who would be perfect for the role will have professional experience. Community Integrated Care recruits to individuals' values and welcomes people from all walks of life, including people with vast experience as a support worker or care assistant, people with lived experience who have friends or relatives with disabilities or have looked after older relatives, and people with no experience at all.

You should share the company values: We Include; We Deliver; We Aspire; We Respect; We Enable. We look for people with:

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