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.

As a multi-award winning charity  we ensure our colleagues and the people we support live the best lives possible. In 2025, we launched our new strategy - Best Lives, Bolder. Find our more - click here.

 

 

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

We are a group of adults aged 18–60 who each have our own personalities, goals, and support needs, including learning disabilities, autism, ADHD and physical support needs. What we all have in common is that we want to be in control of our lives, learn new things, and have people around us who treat us with respect, kindness, and patience.

We are looking for Support Workers who will get to know each of us as individuals—what we enjoy, what matters to us, and how we want to be supported. The right person will help us build independence, celebrate our achievements, and support us to make choices every day.

We enjoy a wide range of activities, and the best support workers are those who join in with enthusiasm. Some of us love going out for food or spending time at the pub. Others enjoy arts and crafts, planning days out, or exploring new places in the community. Some of us will try anything once and love big adventures; others enjoy quieter moments in the communal lounge watching films, listening to music or chatting together. We also take part in exciting voluntary opportunities such as major sporting events, and we’d love staff who can help us continue to find new experiences.

Our home is a modern, spacious building with 14 flats where each of us has our own space and privacy. We live on a friendly cul‑de‑sac in Hindley with plenty of parking. There is a strong, supportive team here—usually at least seven staff on shift—and our manager is often on site to help.

What you'll be doing

You’ll work shifts such as 8–8 or 8–10, with flexibility to meet everyone’s needs. What matters most is that you show up with a positive attitude and a willingness to learn. We’ll help you with the rest. Full training is provided, along with reflective sessions where staff can share ideas and continue improving how they support us.

If you’re someone who enjoys variety, values people for who they are, and wants to make a meaningful difference every day, we would love to welcome you into our team.

What we're looking for

Naturally it is important too that you share our company values - We Include; We Deliver; We Aspire; We Respect; We Enable, which are at the heart of everything we do and ensure that we deliver high quality, consistent care and support. 

People's values are important to use, so we look for people with:

- Patience
- Empathy, compassion and sensitivity to others
- A strong work ethic
- Reliability
- Honesty
- Determination
- A problem solver
- Resilience

Here at Community Integrated Care we aim to be a warm, welcoming and inclusive employer, where all colleagues feel they belong. We want to an organisation that is truly fair and equal to all – where individual diversity is valued, unique characteristics celebrated and everyone feels able to bring their true selves to work.  
 
By encouraging and embracing a range of diverse backgrounds, experiences, capabilities and viewpoints, we will build a stronger, richer, more vibrant workforce, which reflects the people we support, and the communities in which we work. It helps us make better decisions, bring fresh ideas and become a true provider and employer of choice. 
 
We have a really clear plan to achieve this called A Place I Belong. This publicly sets out the promises we’ve made to achieving this vision and how we will hold ourselves to account to getting there. You can read more about this by clicking here.
