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.
Working closely with the Service Leader and Support Worker Team, you will be responsible for supporting adults with learning disabilities, autism and mental health concerns to live their daily lives. Each person we support is unique, so the support you provide will be person-centred and will focus on achieving the best lives possible with them.
Our Shifts: 9pm to 9am with an occasional day shift which is 9am to 9pm
What You Will Be Doing
You will be supporting a gentleman with learning disabilities, autism, rectal prolapse and mental health. His family is important to him, and he loves spending time with them. He enjoys all kinds of activities and will try anything once. He loves travelling to places both new and familiar and being given the choice to do this. He will travel by bus and train - he has a bus and a train pass, so it is important staff use these.
He likes his staff to be calm, friendly, engaging, and to be able to be firm and have appropriate boundaries with him. He appreciates if staff can do this, and it is an important aspect in managing any challenging behaviour he may have. Regular reassurance is important, and staff should follow his support plan and help communicate this via his calendar/schedule and communication methods.
Getting out in nature is very important, so staff should be prepared and fit enough for moderate walks in New Mills or travelling out further to areas of beauty, which is his preference. He will want to get out most days when the weather is good - getting out in nature can turn his day around.
He has an activity file in his service that he can choose from, and staff can add to if they find a new place or new thing he likes to do, so it's important staff are proactive around these things with him. He enjoys activities outside the home such as swimming at the gym, so it's important he has support available.
Training will be provided in Administration of medication, Manual handling and Positive Behavioural Support.
What We're Looking For

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.
