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.

Who you'll be supporting and more about the role
At Summerson House, we have an experienced local team led by Service Leader, Sarah Lowery. Sarah has worked with adults with support needs for over a decade. She started her career as a Support Worker, so has first-hand experience of how best to support people to achieve their goals. She is supported by a team of 20 dedicated colleagues who are all passionate about delivering excellent person-centred care. All colleagues undertake a structured induction programme, as well as specialist training, to ensure they have the knowledge and skills to safely support your loved one. We have our own in-house Training Team and work with local professionals and expert training providers.

It is our aim to ensure anyone with a profound physical or learning disability can live their best possible lives with dignity, independence, and choice. Our people supported enjoy days out at the coast, sealife centres, and holidays in the UK and abroad.

All our people supported need gentle, caring, bubbly support workers who have caring natures. We enjoy fun days in the summer, BBQs, and a good water fight too. Two gents love walks in the community, so support workers who enjoy walking are great.

About you
We know it takes a special person to work in social care and we recognise that not everyone who would be perfect for the role will have professional experience. This is why we're 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, to people with lived experience who may have friends or relatives with disabilities or have looked after older relatives, to people with no experience at all.

It is important that you share our company values: We Include; We Deliver; We Aspire; We Respect; We Enable. These are at the heart of everything we do and ensure we deliver high quality, consistent care and support. We look for people with:

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

A Place I Belong
Here at Community Integrated Care we aim to be a warm, welcoming and inclusive employer, where all colleagues feel they belong.

By encouraging and embracing a range of diverse backgrounds, experiences, capabilities and viewpoints, we will build a stronger, richer, more vibrant workforce that 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.
