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. We have strong values and are proud to pioneer new ways of delivering social care to stand out in our sector. 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.
Who you'll be supporting & more about the role:
We are currently recruiting for a Female Support Worker for a 20 hour role in our service in Thurso.
In this role, you will support a lady with Downs Syndrome and Autism Spectrum Disorder, who lives at home with her dad. The lady we support loves music, dancing and singing and would love someone with similar interests to support her. The lady we support has a fear of dogs, so requires patience, compassion and reassurance from her staff. She prefers to go out into the community in the car due to her unease with dogs, so a UK driving license is essential for this role.
From Monday to Thursday, our shifts are 9am - 9pm, 9am - 4pm or 4pm - 9pm. On weekends, we provide support from 9am - 9pm, as well as a sleepover on Friday and Saturday night. All staff are required to work different shifts, including some sleepovers, to ensure fairness for the team. Happy to consider someone for evenings and weekends.
Sometimes the people we support really need a male or female person to support them. For this particular role, a female colleague is required. The people we support like to be supported by people who respect and encourage them and who like to have fun!
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.
