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.
Do you enjoy working with people and want to make a real difference?
We are now recruiting for caring, enthusiastic and self-motivated Part Time Support Workers to join our support team in Thurso.
Our Support Workers 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.
You will need to be flexible, committed and dedicated to supporting a young gentleman, having an ability to follow a detailed care and support plan.
We want to hear from dedicated team players who may have have experience of supporting adults with Autism, Learning disabilities and epilepsy who are willing to adapt their approach to provide innovative, person-centred support to this individual and support him to achieve his goals.
The gentleman we support here loves activities outdoors such as trips to the beach and forest. He is very sociable and enjoys time spent with family and peers and attends a club every week aswell as enjoying music and going out in the community.
Shifts vary from mornings, afternoons and evenings in accordance with his plans and needs. There are no sleepovers required. You will work alongside another experienced support worker and receive training on how to support him in the best way possible with activities and personal care.
