Visa sponsorship evidence
Applications from job seekers who require current Skilled worker sponsorship to work in the UK are welcome and will be considered alongside all other applications.
From the employer's advert, checked 27 October 2026.
We could not match this employer to the Home Office sponsor register by name. Large employers often register under a different legal name, so this is not a warning on its own.
Check you are eligible before applying. Since 22 July 2025 most new Skilled Worker visas need a degree-level role and a salary of at least £41,700, or £33,400 for new entrants. Some health and shortage occupations are exceptions, and care worker visas are closed to new applicants from abroad. This role may suit people who already have permission to work in the UK. See the visa guide.
About the job
Job summary
We are recruiting to our new Intensive & Assertive Team, launching across Norfolk to provide intensive, flexible and recovery-focused support for people living with severe and enduring mental illness. This is a unique opportunity to join a service from the outset and help shape its future.
As a Care Coordinator, you will work with people who often find it difficult to engage with traditional mental health services, delivering assertive outreach, intensive community support and recovery-focused interventions. You will help improve engagement, reduce hospital admissions and support individuals to live more fulfilling lives within their communities.
Posts Available and Locality Working
We currently have 8.5 Care Coordinator vacancies across Norfolk and Suffolk. Successful applicants will have the opportunity to discuss their preferred locality, and wherever possible we will align staff to their chosen area to minimise travel and support strong local partnerships.
As a county-wide service, there may occasionally be a requirement to support colleagues and service users across your allocated county in response to service needs. Any wider working will be reasonable, proportionate and fully supported.
The team operates 7 days a week, 11:00am-7:00pm, with staff participating in a rota that includes weekends and bank holidays. We value flexibility, teamwork and work-life balance, and offer the chance to be part of an ambitious and innovative new service from day one.
