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.



 

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

We are three fun loving, charismatic young adults and our age range is 24-35.

We all have communication challenges, but we also have our own way of communicating what we want and what we need.

Our staff are trained in various things such administering medication, Moving and Positioning, Makaton and how to make us happy and safe.
We are all proud of what we achieved in our lives, we don’t let things get us down, our smiles and positive attitudes are inspirational to all who know us. We are a family here at Applegarth!

We love different activities from going out to staying in and watching TV, listening to music and sensory games. 
One of us loves Mr Tumble, one of us loves music and one of us loves to be out and about.

We all have the same goals and aspirations which is to be given a voice & enjoy our lives to the full!

Our families are so important to us, and we would like you to keep this updated with how we are and what we have been up to. They love and appreciate this especially our Mams.

All the staff at Applegarth will always strive to get the best outcomes for us and so every week they look at various activities within the local community to see what we can do, we also get updates from local authority, “What to do” and day services
Fun, Inspirational. Loving, Happy, Determined, Family, this is how we would describe ourselves 
We all get on with everyone once we get to know them, when people are new to us we are a little reserved but that is short lived.
Our bungalow is well adapted to meet all our needs, it has lovely gardens to front and rear
Our gardens are all level and easily accessible for us to be able to sit and enjoy the fresh air together.
In our living room we like to be together for movie nights and to listen to music, we love to eat meals together in the dining room.
We are very lucky we live in a small Cul-de sac with our own private driveway where we park.

There are always 3 staff on shift throughout the day and one overnight
There are 2 main shift patterns 8am-8pm & 8pm-8am
The staff we look for are trained, will keep us safe, have a lovely personality and want to make a difference to our lives daily
