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 national and regional awards! We are also focused on our people. Our Support Workers are dedicated and passionate about going ‘the extra mile’ for the people we support, and in return, we go the extra mile for them by investing in pay, recognition, wellbeing, and continued professional and personal development. We will provide you with all the training, support, and personal protective equipment you need in your role and will help you develop if you decide to grow your career with us.
Who you’ll be supporting & more about the role: We currently have opportunities for caring, enthusiastic, and self-motivated Support Workers to join our team in Scrabster, Thurso for bank/casual roles.

Due to this individual’s unique needs, we are looking for people who are energetic and physically active and enjoy the outdoors and a variety of activities including swimming, walking, attending day centre, and going to the cinema. It is also important to him to spend time with close family.

Our values:
We know it takes a special person to work in social care, and we recognize that not everyone who would be perfect for the role will have professional experience. That’s why we're really passionate about recruiting individuals’ values and we recruit people from all walks of life; from those 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 those with no experience at all.
It is also important 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:
* Patience

* A strong work ethic
* Reliability
* Honesty
* Determination
