Community Integrated Care is one of the UK's largest health and social care charities. We transform lives by delivering high-quality, person-centred support that fosters independence and empowerment.

Our charity was founded in 1988 and we were one of the pioneers of the 'Care in the Community' agenda, enabling people to move out of long-stay institutions and live more fulfilling lives.

Since then, we've remained leaders in social care, providing bespoke support to thousands across the UK. Today, we support more than 2,600 people and employ 6,600 caring and committed colleagues across England and Scotland.

We have a proud history of breaking boundaries and are always looking for new ways to make a positive difference through bold ideas, innovative projects and impactful partnerships.

Who you’ll be supporting & more about the role

This is a unique and exciting opportunity to join a brand‑new service in Culcheth, Warrington, supporting two adults with learning disabilities, autism, complex health needs and behavioural needs to live happy, meaningful and independent lives in their own homes.

The service is set within a purpose‑built building , separated into two individual homes, each with their own garden, living spaces, and staff areas. Both individuals are proud of their independence, and your role will be to support them with their routines - not to do things for them. Consistency is incredibly important, as both people thrive when supported in familiar, predictable ways.

What the people we support want you to know

• They are very independent and like to stay busy every day
• They each have their own routines, hobbies and personal interests
• They enjoy being active members of their community
• They value kindness, warmth, honesty and people who "get stuck in"
• They enjoy company but also value their own space and downtime
• They do not enjoy being told what to do or having their choices taken away
• They get on well with most people, as long as support is respectful, fun and consistent

Both individuals have access to their own cars, so you'll be part of supporting them to get out and about for activities, appointments and hobbies. The service is located on a quiet cul‑de‑sac just off a main road, with excellent links to Warrington, Manchester, Wigan and Liverpool. There is ample parking outside the building.
