• 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.

Support Needs & Challenges

I am a bubbly, energetic, and friendly young woman who loves expressing myself and staying active in my local community. I enjoy getting out in the car, exploring new places, and taking part in outdoor activities that keep me busy and engaged.

I'm proud of the home I've created-especially my sensory room, which helps me relax, self-regulate, and feel calm. I'm building new independent living skills every day and making great progress. I work well with my staff team and really value their support as I continue to learn and grow.

What you'll be doing

Sometimes my anxiety can build up and feel overwhelming. When this happens, the support I need is simple but important:

• Staff who remain calm, grounded, and reassuring
• Clear communication about what is happening and what to expect
• Space when I need it, or soothing sensory input to help me settle
• Staff trained in low‑level holds

I feel safest when staff are patient, supportive, and work with me rather than against me. Building trust and connection helps me stay calm and feel confident in the people around me.
