Job Opportunity: Care Coordinator in Intensive & Assertive Team
We are recruiting to our new Intensive & Assertive Team, launching across Norfolk and Suffolk 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 12.5 WTE 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 minimize 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.

Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
