Join Our Enablement Team – Provider Services Workers Wanted

Are you passionate about helping people live more independent, fulfilling lives? Do you believe in focusing on strengths, goals, and possibilities rather than limitations? If so, we’d love to hear from you.

About the Role

Future Options Provider Services are expanding, and we are looking for motivated, enthusiastic Provider Services Workers (PSWs) to join our Enablement Team. You will work with adults aged 18–65 who have Learning Disabilities (LD), Physical Disabilities (PD), Mental Health needs (MH), and/or Autism, supporting them to develop practical skills for independent living.

Your work will focus on what matters most to the individual – helping them achieve their personal goals around:

Living independently at home
Accessing volunteering, training, or paid employment
Getting out and about in the community
Building confidence and social connections

What You’ll Be Doing

As a Provider Services Worker, you’ll offer tailored support in a variety of settings including people’s homes, workplaces, and community spaces. This may include:

Supporting individuals to learn everyday life skills such as cooking, cleaning, and managing finances
Encouraging confidence, choice, and independence
Supporting access to education, volunteering, or employment opportunities
Working creatively with individuals to follow person-centred support plans
Working independently while also contributing positively as part of a supportive team

You’ll work city-wide, so flexibility is important. This job entails lone working but has a great team spirit.

A car is helpful but not essential.

What We’re Looking For

A positive, flexible, and empowering approach
Confidence working independently and using your own initiative
Strong communication and people skills
A genuine commitment to enabling independence and choice
English, Maths and basic computer skills

Extensive training provided, including Learning Disability-specific training, to help you succeed in the role.

Interested?

We are investing in our workforce and are promoting opportunities to our under-represented groups. We value equality, diversity and inclusion and are focused on increasing the diversity of our workforce, particularly the number of Black, Asian, Minority Ethnic, Disabled and LGBTQ+ people, so that our teams reflect the communities in the city we serve. We are also supporting staff with unpaid caring responsibilities to work flexibly.

It is a great time to join us and we welcome your application.

Under the Guaranteed Interview scheme, applicants who are disabled, care leavers, or armed forces veterans will be guaranteed an interview if they meet the essential criteria and indicate their eligibility on the application form. Sometimes, if lots of people apply, we might not be able to interview everyone who qualifies for the Guarantee. In these cases, we’ll interview the candidates who best meet the essential criteria for the job.

Full-time employees work 37 hours for 52 weeks of the year and we offer a generous holiday entitlement. We are open to discussions about a wide range of flexible working opportunities which benefit you and the Council, including reduced hour contracts, working part time or as a job share.

If you are appointed to this role, your starting salary will be at the bottom of the grade. If you provide payslip evidence that your basic pay is greater than the bottom of the grade, we will consider starting you at the point of minimum advantage within the grade.

Equality of pay is extremely important to us. All roles at Sheffield City Council are going through an evaluation process which may result in changes to some pay arrangements from 2026. Find out more on our Sheff news page.

We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of all individuals, ensuring a safe and supportive environment for everyone and where appropriate to the role the successful applicant will be required to undertake relevant safeguarding checks.
