Is it important for you to have a satisfying job where you feel supported?
If this sounds like you, maybe a Support Worker role with an award-winning charity is the change you've been looking for!
We are recruiting for Support Workers to support individuals in our Dumfries services to live independently in their own homes.
The people we support have faced a lot of challenges in the past because of their learning disabilities and mobility issues, but this hasn't stopped them from enjoying life! The ladies enjoy lots of activities, including going out for lunch, picnics, art groups, swimming, knitting, jigsaws and going to parties. Our support team are very diverse and work well together to ensure the people we support are happy and safe in their own homes. Supporting with medication administration
• Assisting with personal care
• Maintaining the homes of people supported and helping to manage their finances
Our team provides support 24 hours a day, so we are looking for some flexibility to work a variety of shifts, including some weekends and sleepovers. The people we support like to be supported by people who respect them and their homes, but who also like to have fun!
We like people who are reliable and honest, so the people we support can build trust and know that you have their best interests at heart.
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.
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.
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.
