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’. We have strong values and we’re proud to pioneer new ways of delivering social care to stand out in our sector. In the past two years, we have won or made the shortlist for over 100 national and regional awards!
We are currently recruiting for Support Workers to join our dedicated team in Aberdeen. We support three people who like to be mobile but do require some support. The role is based in a two-story detached house. They are proud of their appearance and their home, especially their bedrooms. When not out and about, they enjoy jigsaws, soaps on TV, puzzles, playing games on their tablets, and listening to music. They also like to visit nearby coffee shops to chat with locals and to fundraise. They are a happy group who do not like to sit in the house all day. There is always a sleepover on shift from 10am to 10am. We also have two 8am to 3pm shifts and one from 3pm to 10pm. You will be joining an award-winning charity, in an exciting role where you can transform someone else's life while transforming your own too! Whatever your background, there is a rewarding career in care for you - one where you can follow your passions and learn new skills too. A driver would be preferred for this role and the shifts will include weekend working. This is a full-time role for 37.5 hours and may be a part-time role coming up soon.
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. This is why we're really passionate about recruiting to individuals’ values and we recruit people from all walks of life; 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. 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 us, so we look for people with:
1. Patience
2. Empathy, compassion, and sensitivity to others
3. A strong work ethic
4. Reliability
5. Honesty
6. Determination
7. A problem solver
8. Resilience

A Place I belong: Here at Community Integrated Care we aim to be a warm, welcoming, and inclusive employer, where all colleagues feel they belong. We want to be 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.
