About Community Integrated Care
Community Integrated Care supports individuals with a wide range of needs and in many cases, people whose needs and histories mean that individuals can reasonably be predicted to present with behaviours that challenge.
The organisation’s current approach to significant behaviour is to use the least restrictive practices to support the individual through stressful episodes and as such the relevant colleagues are trained in the MAPA (Managing Actual and Potential Aggression) model of interventions (licensed through the Crisis Prevention Institute). However, the aspiration is for the organisation to adopt the recovery model approaches of Active Support and Positive Behavioural Support which advocate a more proactive approach to prevention and reduction of behaviours that challenge and overall improvement to quality of life outcomes.
Key Skills and Experience
- Excellent writing skills
- Strong verbal communication skills
- Strong computer skills (e.g., formatting Word documents, creating Excel spreadsheets)
- Experience in conducting research
- Knowledge of care standards and social care legislation
- Knowledge of Microsoft SharePoint is preferable but not essential as this can be trained
