We are seeking to appoint an experienced and passionate Shared Lives Coordinator to be part of the Shared Lives Scheme.

We want the best for our vulnerable adults, and we want to ensure the best provision to our valued carers who are delivering a unique service.

We are looking for like-minded people to join the team in Derby and be champions of outstanding care and support.

You will need to be a highly motivated individual who can support carers to deliver the best possible care to our customers.

You will need to work with Shared Lives carers to ensure that the Scheme delivers a person-centred approach to our customers within the requirements of the Care Quality Commission (CQC).

You will need an understanding of Adult Safeguarding procedures and the ability to recognise and implement these in your role.

You will be expected to visit Shared Lives Carers in their homes and obtain feedback from customers using the Service.

Experience of working with a wide range of customer groups would be an advantage.

If you feel that you can make a difference and have the relevant skills, qualifications and desire to succeed, then we want to hear from you.

In return, we can offer you an exciting and rewarding career opportunity.

As a Shared Lives Coordinator, you'll provide a safe environment and outstanding support to our customers and carers.
