Community Integrated Care is one of the UK’s largest health and social care charities. We work hard to enriching 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.

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, should you decide you want to develop your career with us. Sometimes the people we support really need a male or female person to support them. For this particular role, a female colleague is required. This is a genuine occupational requirement as defined by the Equality Act .
Who you’ll be supporting & more about the role:
Life at Hale Lane is peaceful but active and enjoyable, with people supported encouraged to spend time doing the things that matter most to them. This includes arts and crafts, visiting family and friends, swimming, shopping trips, cinema outings, relaxing walks in the local area, going to the pub, disco and watching movies. Shared routines are an important part of life at the service, such as a day out to the pub, where all the people supported have a pub meal. Saturday Takeaway is another enjoyable day, as the people we support chose and share a takeaway and relax at home, normally with a pamper session included for the ladies.
