Provide Community

Who we are

Provide is a Community Interest Company (social enterprise). We deliver a broad range of health and social care services in the community, and are committed to making sure that they are safe, responsive and of high quality. Provide is owned by its employees and has primarily social objectives. Any profits we make are reinvested into the local community or back into delivering services.

We work from a variety of community settings, such as community hospitals, community clinics, schools, nursing homes and primary care settings, as well as within people’s homes to provide more than 40 services to children, families and adults across Essex, Dorset, East Anglia and the North of England.

Our culture and values

A highly respected, award winning health and social care provider. We expect our staff to demonstrate and uphold our values at all times:

Vision: Transforming Lives

Values: Care, Innovation and Compassion

Mission: An ambitious, employee owned social enterprise, growing in size and influence. We transform lives by treating, caring and educating people.

Provide is an equal opportunity employer committed to building a team that represents a variety of backgrounds, perspectives and skills, proud to have LGBT+, Ethnic Minority and Men’s Networks.

We welcome applicants from underrepresented groups. If you have the skills and experience for the job, please apply regardless of your background.

Equality, diversity and inclusion policy

Provide Community can best be defined by our vision, mission and values. This is what is at the heart of our organisation and what drives us as all as colleagues to do the very best we can for the people our work impacts.

We know that everyone throughout Provide Community is enacting and living our mission vision and values every single day, which makes us truly proud. 

Provide Community is committed to equal opportunities in employment and believes that all everyone who currently is employed, or applies to work for the organisation, should be treated fairly and equitably. 

Provide delivers health and social care services to a diverse range of people and is committed to providing high quality services and participation for all. 

Equality of opportunity means viewing positively an individual’s diversity and valuing equally the unique contribution that an individual’s experience, knowledge and skills can make. Provide is committed to developing a local workforce which is valued, whose diversity reflects the communities it serves and where everyone working in Provide is able to achieve their full potential in an environment characterised by dignity and mutual respect.

Provide recognises that some groups are marginalised and underrepresented at some levels of the organisation and aims to address this.

Provide is committed to a Just and Learning culture approach and wishes to ensure that if something happens and the obligation in this policy falls short, that a process is followed to establish next steps.  We want to encourage improvement where necessary and ensure the practice of lessons learnt is embedded across the organisation.
