About Community Integrated Care:

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:

I am 46 years old and I live alone in my own house with 24 hour 1:1 support.

My primary needs are Learning Disability and Mental Health needs. I sometimes experience anxiety, distress and paranoia and I can become overwhelmed by change. I require consistent support to maintain emotional wellbeing, safety and daily living skills.

My staff would ideally have experience in working with Behaviours that Challenge, they will need to complete Positive Behaviour Support training, along with Mental Health Awareness training, so you will already have experience as a Support Worker.

I have a very good sense of humour and enjoy the odd practical jokes with staff; I also have an excellent memory.

I love to sit a reminisce about the past. I have a passion for electronics and stereos and want to learn all about them and give you interesting facts.

Music is important to me, especially Christmas music! I like various TV programmes such as cooking shows or Mrs Browns Boys.

I am proud of being able to continue to live on my own with support, It is a goal of mine to continue to live this way.

My mum is very important to me; I enjoy spending time with my family and have good family bonds and connections, they provide me with lots of emotional support and consistency, I would like to maintain these relationships

What You'll be doing

I receive 1:1 support 24 hours a day and have a sleep-in shift. Shift pattern is 0830-2200 day shift 2200-0830 sleep in shift.

I require staff who are patient, consistent and calm under pressure also a positive outlook. You will have or be trained in Positive Behaviour Support/ Safety Disengagement training.

"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"
