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:Do you enjoy working with people and want to make a real difference?

The gentleman we support is an active member of his local community who enjoys being outdoors and physically active. He enjoys swimming in his pool, family and friends time and runs out in his car

We are seeking Support Workers who are passionate and eager to learn person centred routines and preferences and be patient and understanding of individuals needs and behaviours.
Sometimes the people we support really need a male or female person to support them. For this particular role, a male colleague is required. This is a genuine occupational requirement as defined by the Equality Act 2010
