As we continue to develop and grow our service, we are looking to recruit two enthusiastic, organised and compassionate Care Coordinators to join our management team.

This is an exciting opportunity for experienced care professionals who are ready to take the next step in their careers, combining hands-on care delivery with care coordination, staff support and quality assurance.

We are looking for individuals who are passionate about delivering excellent care, enjoy working with people and want to make a genuine difference within their local community.

About the Role

This is a varied role combining direct care delivery with office-based and community-based coordination responsibilities.

Your working week will consist of:

20 hours – Direct Care Delivery

You will provide hands-on care and support to clients in their own homes, maintaining your practical skills and building positive relationships with the people we support.

20 hours – Care Coordination and Quality Assurance

You will be responsible for supporting the delivery and monitoring of care within your allocated geographical area.
