The opportunity and what makes Community Integrated Care a great place to work

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.

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.

As a Support Worker within Vocational Services, you'll provide person-centred employment support to individuals who face barriers to finding and sustaining work.

You'll work closely with people to identify their strengths, skills and aspirations, helping them take positive steps towards employment, education and training opportunities that align with their goals.

Your role will include:

• Building positive and trusting relationships with the people you support
• Delivering personalised employment-focused support and coaching
• Supporting individuals with vocational profiling, job searching, CV preparation and interview skills
• Helping people identify their strengths, interests and career ambitions
• Working with employers to create inclusive employment opportunities
• Providing ongoing support to help people sustain employment and achieve positive outcomes
• Collaborating with community organisations, referral partners and other professionals
• Maintaining accurate records and supporting programme outcomes
• Promoting independence, confidence, wellbeing and social inclusion

You don't need previous experience in supported employment to be successful in this role. What matters most is your passion for helping people achieve their goals and your ability to build positive relationships.

This role could be an excellent next step for experienced Support Workers looking to develop specialist skills in employment support and vocational services. We also welcome applications from people with experience in community support, employability, coaching, mentoring or related roles. You'll also bring:

• Excellent communication and listening skills
• A person-centred and strengths-based approach
• The ability to motivate and encourage others
• Good organisational and IT skills
• Confidence working independently and as part of a team
• A genuine commitment to inclusion and equality

Include - You recognise and value each person's unique strengths, ensuring everyone feels welcomed, involved and respected.
