About Community Integrated Care and ARC HD Services

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.

ARC HD Services joined Community Integrated Care in 2025, bringing years of specialist residential childcare experience along with it.

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:

Working closely with the Registered Manager and Support Worker Team, you will be responsible for providing a nurturing and safe home environment to help the children grow and build confidence and independent living skills. We work with children aged 9-18 who face complex emotional and mental health challenges, including ASD, ADHD, PTSD, and trauma-related behaviours.

Our Shifts: 9 hour days | 15 hour days | 10pm - 8am (Sleepovers) | 10pm - 8am (Waking Nights)

Shift Requirement: Days and sleepovers

Contract: We are currently offering a 39-hour permanent contract for days with one sleepover per week

Driving License Required? Yes, with access to own vehicle due to rural location of home

What You'll Be Doing

You’ll be supporting 3 children to live their daily lives in the way they want to live them, helping build their confidence and encouraging them to make their own decisions. This means you will provide support in a wide variety of ways, including:

  • Supporting with independent living skills e.g. cooking, cleaning, baking, shopping, budgeting
  • Encouraging and supporting children to attend school and plan for their futures
  • Supporting to visit the families and friends
  • Encouraging the children with their activities and goals - you'll be their cheerleader!

We are passionate about our people and every year we invest heavily in our front-line worker pay. This means that from 1st October 2026, our pay rate for this role will be increasing to £13.46 per hour

What We're Looking For

At ARC, we know it takes someone special to work in social care—and that doesn’t always mean having experience. We hire based on values, welcoming people from all walks of life: seasoned Support Workers, Care Assistants, Veterans, Foster Carers, Teachers and Teaching Assistants, those with lived experience, parents or even total newbies with a passion for care.

If this sounds like your kind of job, hit ‘Apply’ and fill out our short application form.

Need adjustments during the process? Just email ***email_hidden***.

We’re proud to be an Equal Opportunities and Disability Confident employer.

ARC is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff to share that commitment.
