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’.

Who you’ll be supporting & more about the role:

Support Worker – Gilmerton, Edinburgh. Do you enjoy watching movies? Going out for dinner? Getting out for a nice walk? Going shopping? Or just relaxing in the garden? If you said yes, then you already have something in common with the amazing people we support in Edinburgh.

Make a Difference Every Day: In Gilmerton, we support 4 ladies with learning disabilities and autism to live independently in their shared home. This is a supported living service, which means we’re all about empowering the ladies to make their own choices, plan their days, and enjoy life to the fullest.

Every Day is Different: The people we support have unique personalities, interests, and goals. As a Support Worker, you’ll help them:

• Get out into the community (if you have a driving license, that's a big bonus!)
• Enjoy hobbies and activities
• Manage medication
• With personal care (where needed)
• Make decisions and live independently

We believe in “doing with” not “doing for” – it’s all about enabling, not taking over.

Shifts and Contracts: We provide support 24/7, and we’re currently looking for people who can work shifts on a rota basis from 7am - 2pm and 2pm - 9pm. This will include some weekend work. We are currently recruiting for a 16 hour role and 37.5 hour role.

Ready to Join Us? If you’re kind, patient, and passionate about helping others live their best lives, then we want to meet you! Sometimes the people we support really need a male or female person to support them. For this particular role, a female colleague is required. This is a genuine occupational requirement as defined by the Equality Act 2010.

Your values: Got heart? You’re halfway there. At Community Integrated Care, we know it takes someone special to work in social care—and that doesn’t always mean having experience. We hire based on values, welcoming people from all walks of life: seasoned Support Workers, Care Assistants, Veterans, those with lived experience, or even total newbies with a passion to care.

Need adjustments during the process? Just email [email protected]. We’re proud to be an Equal Opportunities and Disability Confident employer. Good luck—we can’t wait to meet you!
