Would you like a flexible working pattern?

Would you like the certainty of guaranteed hours?

Can you see yourself spending your whole shift in the same home, with the same person you support, meaning you can have the greatest impact on their lives?

Would you like to see yourself working for a multi award-winning Charity, that invests all of its profits right back to the people we support, our workforce and our local communities?

How about working with supportive leaders and great colleagues?

Community Integrated Care is one of the UK’s largest health and social care charities. We work hard enriching 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 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 recruiting for new staff to join our friendly and professional team, three lovely ladies and a wonderful gentlemen reside here, all with their own personalities bringing warmth, and their individual interests to the home.

A small care home filled with big hearts, and we love to have fun, with individual personalised care and support plans which are implemented and regularly reviewed and updated as needed to ensure the right care and support is given and received. We are looking for people who are committed, flexible, and great communicators who will listen to and respect what the people we support have to say.

We love a good party and having a good karaoke night, we are proud of our garden and love to get out and enjoy it and have worked very hard on it. We love a good BBQ in the garden and love to make the most of it.

Do you enjoy helping family and friends, and think this could extend to helping others? Or are you already an experienced care professional?

If this sounds like you, then a support worker role with us, could be right up your street!

It takes a special person to work in social care, and we recognise that not everyone who might be perfect for the role, will have any professional experience. This is why we are really passionate about recruiting to your values. This means we can recruit from all walks of life, from people with vast experience in support work or care assistant roles, to those with lived experiences looking after friends or family members with disabilities, to people with other transferable skills or those with no experience at all.
