Community Care Worker

We value diverse perspectives and experiences and are striving to create a workplace culture that is inclusive, is accepting of all and is free from discrimination and bias.

We have a simple vision and strategy that defines what we are trying to achieve, our purpose and our approach which underpin the principles of Adult Social Care, and we continue to work in support of this.

In a simple sense all our work, at whatever level should continue to support the strategy of: ‘Providing support, in the least intrusive manner possible, based on the assets, resources and abilities that are available to people’.

This is a fabulous opportunity for a Community Care Worker willing to embrace our ‘One Coventry’ values and join our transitions service in Coventry. We support young people as they transition from children's services and/or education into adult social care for the first time.
