At Community Integrated Care, we’re on an ambitious journey of growth and transformation—and we’re looking for a dynamic People Specialist to play a key role in delivering our Support Services People Plan.

This is more than a HR role. It’s an opportunity to partner with leaders, influence strategy on the ground, and drive meaningful outcomes that impact our colleagues and the people we support.

This is a full time permanent role with attendance at our head office in Widnes at least once a week with some national travel so our ideal candidate will be based within an hours commute of Widnes.

• Support: From our Employee Assistance Programme (available 24/7), financial support options, and wellbeing fund you'll have the support available to lead an easier (financial) life.

Working closely with the Head of People Support Services and Projects, you’ll be at the heart of your region—supporting leaders, driving recruitment, embedding culture, and delivering people-led change across multiple services.

What You'll Be Doing
