Floating Support / Community Support
Community Integrated Care provides floating support services to people with learning disabilities, mental health concerns, physical disabilities and autism. We are one of Britain’s biggest and most successful charities, and have been providing specialist support in the community for almost three decades.
We understand that traditional residential support services do not suit everyone. To lead a full and independent life, some people may only require support for a few hours a day or a week, depending on their needs.
Our Floating Support services provide people with flexible packages of support. How you choose to use your support is up to you – our specialist teams will assist you to achieve your personal goals and aspirations.
Flexibility and choice
We are able to support you in many areas, helping you to lead a full and varied life, including:-

We pride ourselves on really getting to know people – how they want to be supported, what they want to achieve in life and what is important to them – to offer support that is as individual as they are. To achieve this, our colleagues are trained to use specialist approaches such as One-Page Profiles.
Every person we support has an outcome-focused support plan, which looks at how we can work together to make their aspirations a reality. We regularly review these plans with the people we support and the important people in their lives in Person-Centered Reviews. These help ensure that we’re always supporting people to achieve the outcomes they want.
Supported Employment
At Community Integrated Care we believe that disability should not be a barrier to working. We are committed to helping you find paid or voluntary employment, if this is one of your aspirations.
We work closely with lots of different types of employers, finding job roles that give you the opportunity to become a valued and integrated team member. Many people we support enjoy rewarding job roles which enable them to make a positive contribution to their workplace, enjoying the sense of empowerment, independence and achievement which working brings.

Autism Accreditation
Many of our teams have specialist experience of supporting people on the autism spectrum. Our Vocational Support Service in Merseyside was the first supported employment service in the country to achieve Autism Accreditation status, formally recognising our best practice approach.
Exceptional Support
