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 100 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:
We support one person at this service who has their own flat with own front door in a block of flats. This person we support has 1:1 support including during the night with sleepovers. This person strives to be inclusive in the community as much as possible. We are looking for staff who are fun, kind, caring, empathetic, and who enjoy having a good laugh and will be interactive. This flat is in Aberdeen central, close to local amenities such as GP, dentist, and local food shops. In order to support best lives possible, staff are given specialist training in autism and epilepsy as well as numerous other training activities. The person we support has many varied interests and gets involved in local activities especially discos and celebrating Aberdeen parade. Interests also include attending day care, playing bowling on Wii, colouring in, watching DVDs, and listening to music. Shifts start at 3pm and finish at 3.15 the following day.
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 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 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
