Description
About the role
Do you enjoy making a difference to your local community? Are you curious and you spot things that others might not see? Do you enjoy building lasting relationships?

If the answer is yes, then this is an opportunity for you


The Living in Care Home Review Team are looking for an Adult Support Co-ordinator to join them on a full time, permanent basis.


The team are responsible for completing statutory annual social care reviews for all our service users who permanently live in a residential or nursing care home.

Additional to this we have a duty to assess all self-funding residents who are reaching our financial threshold, as well as any safeguarding concerns, court of protection work, and many other exciting tasks.

The team is a countywide team with a vision for you to work in a specific geographical area, giving you the ability to develop long lasting relationships with customers, their families, and our care home providers.


If you would like an informal chat about this role please contact Deborah Stickler-Singh, Living in Care Homes Review Team Manager, on
Interviews will be held remotely via Teams on 11th May.

What will you be doing?

You'll need to be inquisitive and willing to spend time finding out what it's like from your customers' point of view to live in the setting that they do and build knowledge to improve the quality of living for your customers.

You'll need to have excellent observation skills to spot strengths and notice what's lacking and let the facts drive your ability to give constructive feedback and provide evidence based, proportionate recording.

Your curiosity should also mean that you enjoy keeping up to date with current good practice, doing relevant research and building your own knowledge.


This is not your typical team - there will be an opportunity to broaden your own skills and training by working alongside nurses and learning about medical practices and you will support providers and share your knowledge and experience.

Completing Mental Capacity Act Assessments, Continuing Health Care checklists, attending Decision Support Tool meetings and engaging with Advocacy Services will be part of the role but you do not need to be an expert, full training and support will be provided.


There will be an occasional need to support working out-side of core working hours (early morning / late evening) and support over weekends.

This is only occasional due to potential provider failure or emergency situations.

About you

Experience or a willingness to work with a variety of partner organisations is vital to working in this team and you'll need to enjoy networking and influencing others to see things differently.

You will be able to work autonomously and have the flexibility to manage your own workload in a hybrid way that allows you to work from the residential settings in your patch.


Most of all, you put the individual at the heart of everything and you ensure their choices are being respected and supported.
