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 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.
One of the values of Community Integrated Care is our passion for our people and every year we invest in our front-line worker pay in line with the Living Wage increase each April. Our promise has always been clear: we will do everything in our power to improve pay for colleagues. And so, if you start with us between now and 31 March your pay will be £11.94 per hour then from the 1 April, this will increase to £12.62 per hour.
Who you’ll be supporting & more about the role:
Who will you be supporting?
We have all lived together for a long time in this service. Our support team is important to us because we need assistance to live our best lives possible. 2 of us need assistance to get around the house as we use wheelchairs due to physical disability. 1 of us is independently mobile but needs support in other areas due to his learning disability. The house is for 4 but there are 3 of us living here at the moment and we are all male. 2 of us are prone to seizures and we need staff to be trained in administering rescue medication in the event of a seizure.
What is important to us?
We enjoy pub lunches in the local community, attending day service and meeting up with friends. We also love Lego. We like going out together on trips as we have known each other a long time and enjoy each other's company. A mixture of male and female support works well for us and good listening skills are essential. Routine is important to us and we like things a certain way so it’s vital that the support team get to know this. We all have our own cars so we would like support staff that can drive.
What is it like where we live?
This service is a 4 bedroom bungalow in a quiet estate in Cheadle Hulme. There is garden space surrounding the house which we like to use in the summer. There is a large kitchen area, dining room, and 2 communal lounges. All of our bedrooms have an ensuite toilet and sink, and there is a communal shower room and bathroom. There is a long drive where parking is available.
Candidates must have a valid UK driving license for this role.
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.
