Community Integrated Care is one of the UK’s largest health and social care charities. We work hard to enrich the lives of people 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 national and regional awards! We are also 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.
Who you’ll be supporting & more about the role:
Are you seeking a job that offers variety and is satisfying? Do you enjoy working with people and want to make a real difference? We currently have casual/relief opportunities for caring, enthusiastic, and self-motivated individuals to join our support team in East Kilbride. A UK driving licence is essential for this role.
You will be required to work in a flexible and customer-led manner that meets the needs and preferences of people we support, enabling them to live the life they choose.
This role will be supporting a gentleman with an acquired brain injury in his home and daily life.
This will be primarily social activities support; however, it does include some light housekeeping duties.
Hours available will generally be during the following times - Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday 11.30am - 6pm, Saturday 12pm-5pm.
The hours may vary on occasion depending on if there is a planned activity, for example, a music gig. We are seeking applications from those who also enjoy activities; the gentleman we support likes swimming, chess, drives to the coast, cinema, cooking, museums, amongst others. You should have a good sense of humour; commitment and consistency to building a good rapport is essential.
You’ll be joining an award-winning charity in an exciting role where you can transform someone else’s life while transforming your own too! Whatever your background, there’s a rewarding career in care for you – one where you can follow your passions and learn new skills too.
Your values:
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 individuals based on their values and we recruit people from all walks of life; from people with vast experience in a support worker or care assistant role, to those with lived experiences who may have friends or relatives with disabilities or have looked after older relatives, to people with no experience at all.
Naturally, it is important too that you share our company values - We Include; We Deliver; We Aspire; We Respect; We Enable, which are at the heart of everything we do and ensure that we deliver high quality, consistent care and support. People's values are important to us, so we look for people with:
* Patience
* Empathy, compassion, and sensitivity to others
* A strong work ethic
* Reliability
* Honesty
* Determination
* A problem solver
* Resilience
