Support North Northants is a VCSE-led community wellbeing service. Our motto is simple: we don't give up on people. We bring together voluntary, statutory and private sector partners to ensure vulnerable people get the right support, first time - and only have to tell their story once.

You'll lead and support a small team of Community Link Workers within your locality, combining operational leadership with hands-on case management. Working across the VCSE sector, statutory services and Crisis Resilience Fund partners, you'll coordinate integrated support that helps people improve their wellbeing and build long-term resilience.
