We are an award winning home, and have won at The Great British Care Awards, as well as, the We Dare Awards.
We live in a beautiful residential home and we love our garden and spend a lot of time in it. We have a range of needs from complex learning disabilities and autism to physical disabilities. In 2018, we started a huge garden project that transformed our garden, we take good care of it and love spending time in it. We are adaptable and flexible as a team, no task is to big, we are enthusiastic, willing and positive and we support each other.
We support people to access a variety community facilities and person-centred activities. We know it takes a special person to work in social care and we recognise that not everyone that would be perfect for the role, will have professional experience. From people with vast experience in a support worker or care assistant role, from people with lived experiences who may have friends or relatives with disabilities or have looked after older relatives, to people with no experience at all.
We Enable, which are at the heart of everything we do and ensure that we deliver high quality, consistent care and support. 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.

It helps us make better decisions, bring fresh ideas and become a true provider and employer of choice.
This publicly sets out the promises we've made to achieving this vision and how we will hold ourselves to account to getting there. Community Integrated Care is an Equal Opportunities and Disability Confident employer.
