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 & more about the role:
As a Support Worker with Community Integrated Care you will experience an incredibly rewarding and fulfilling role. Our Support Workers empower people with support needs to live the lives they want to lead.

This service is situated in the Southside of Glasgow directly across from Bellahouston Park. There are good bus and train links nearby.  In the service, we support four gentlemen with learning disabilities and autism, who currently and previously have displayed challenging behaviour.

Experience of supporting individuals in a similar role is required. A driving licence is also preferred for driving vehicles within the service.

The people we support are proud of remaining independent and are able  to complete tasks round the house. They enjoy going out in to the community and getting involved with a range of activities such as swimming, local walks, cinema, going shopping, comic con, safari park, bowling, crazy golf and are open to new ideas, describing themselves as funny, energetic and independent.

Staff must be resilient when working in service and be able to come up with new ideas/activities to share with the team that may interest and stimulate the gentlemen, working with tailored care and support plans.

Typical shifts include:

• 7.45am - 8.15pm
• 8.00am - 2.00pm
• 8.00am - 8.30pm

There may be some waking nights required during periods of staff absence/sickness, but these would be limited.

About you:
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.
