solving skills?


Midland Mencap is looking to recruit a
Care
Coordinator to manage and mentor frontline colleagues who provide care & support to adults with learning disabilities in Birmingham.

We place a high value upon
integrity,
ethical standards, and a commitment to

Domiciliary Care Service is constantly innovating in our pursuit of delivering the

everyone we support.

To achieve these goals, we need individuals who are prepared to

confidently with staff, citizens, families, and professionals.


What Does A Coordinator Do?
Care Coordinators are responsible for providing line management support to our dispersed care teams.


You'll have oversight for the quality of service provided by staff, rota management, reviews, care plans, risk assessments and supervisions.


This post requires you to ensure that we provide outstanding care to adults with a learning disability within their home environment, and that they remain an active part of the local community.


You will monitor frontline staff performance, work closely with health/social care professionals, and ensure that care we deliver meets CQC standards and Midland Mencap's policies.

This role requires a high degree of organisation.

You will be responsible for completing reviews, care planning, conducting risk assessments and carrying out regular visits to homes and projects.

This will include attending multi-disciplinary meetings, liaising directly with families, and ensuring citizens are on the correct benefits.

This role involves lots of problem solving in order that we make things possible for the citizens we support.


There's a need to be responsible, confident, and tactful in how you approach tasks and the variety of citizens, families, and professionals you will encounter in the course of your duties.
