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.

One of the values of Community Integrated Care is our passion for our people and every year we invest in our front-line worker pay in line with the Living Wage increase each April. Our promise has always been clear : we will do everything in our power to improve pay for colleagues. Who you’ll be supporting & more about the role : At our services there are 11 of us altogether but we live in 5 separate properties. These are all in the same street and we all enjoy spending time with each other. All of us get along and have a good relationship. Four of us live at number 1 Sycamore Way and four of us live at number 2 Sycamore Way. Number 3 Sycamore Way shares support with number 2, one gentleman lives in this bungalow. Number 4 and number 10 Sycamore Way are also bungalows, these 2 bungalows have been wheelchair adapted to meet our needs. One lady lives in each of these bungalows

We all have different hobbies and interests but we all still like to spend time together.

We all enjoy going out within our community, especially on shopping trips or going out for meals. Some of us also enjoy more physical activities such as going to discos, bowling, dancing, playing pool or going to the gym. We need your support to be able to do this.

We also like to practice a variety of hobbies and interests whilst at home such as puzzles, board games, baking, art and crafts and having karaoke parties. We often like it when you join in with our activities alongside us.

Maintaining our relationships with the people we love is very important to us and we will need your support to be able to do this.

We like our staff to have similar interests to us. They must be kind, caring and compassionate. We would not get along well with people who are bossy.
