At Shaw Trust we believe everyone has the right to live a decent and dignified life and an opportunity for rewarding work. We are a social purpose organisation challenging inequality and breaking down barriers to enable social mobility.
For us being part of the solution is about creating the conditions for this to happen, advocating and delivering services that make a real difference. Working in partnership not competition, we are part of an eco-system of purpose-led organisations, striving for a fairer, more equal society centred on opportunity for all.
Purpose
You’re the person who can help individuals access the right help at the right time. Our Community Link Workers understand their communities and the wide range of services available within them.

Working with clients, health professionals, volunteers and service providers, Link Workers are focused on making sure a person’s journey to better wellbeing is as easy as possible. Brokering existing service and helping to develop local provision, liaising with primary and secondary health and social care professionals, checking in on progress and making sure we can evidence the outcomes of the service are all important facets of the job - a job that makes a real difference in the lives of people.
