We are currently recruiting:


Six creative and resourceful Social Care Service Co-ordinators to work with the Hospital Team (covering Calderdale Royal Infirmary and Huddersfield Royal Infirmary), the Post Hospital Discharge Assessment Team, The All-Age Disability (People with Learning Disabilities Community Team), The Safeguarding Team and Personalised Long-Term Support (Older People and People with Physical Disabilities Locality Teams).

In Calderdale Metropolitan Borough Council, we like to do things differently. We are distinctive, diverse, kind, and inclusive.

If working 'at place' with a strong sense of community appeals to you, then you should give this opportunity some serious consideration for your next career move.


The Social Care Service Co-ordinator position is a valued and vital role that specialises in working with adults who have may have additional requirements to live their largest life.


As a Social Care Service Co-ordinator you will be working intensely to get to know the people who reach out to us for help and support, understand their requirements and work hard to support them to achieve their aims, goals and aspirations.

Social Care Services Co-ordinators are typically in high demand, making sure the conditions are created so that the people who need us live their chosen life, remain happy, independent and in control, doing the things that really matter most to them with the people and things they love.

Working with individual people means the role can very varied, where no two days are ever the same.


What we are looking for:


Ability to relate to people Your role as a Social Care Service Co-ordinator is to have direct contact with people, usually on a face-to-face basis. To join our existing teams, you will have an expert ability to quickly develop a trusting relationship with people, utilising a kind, empathetic and friendly approach. You must be able to not only listen deeply to what people are telling you but also be skilled at adapting your own communication to ensure you get the best out of the interactions you have with the people who call upon our support.


Resourcefulness and creativity You will recognise that formal services are not always solutions. You will need to be useful, resourceful, and creative when it comes to drawing on the strengths of our people, their wider networks, as well as your local knowledge of the community assets available to problem solve and meet their requirements. You will need to be confident to challenge the status quo or preconceived ideas to enable this happen.


Adult Social Care Knowledge The type of person who will do well in this role will have experience and knowledge of adult social care. You may have direct lived or living experience of adult social care yourself, or maybe involved or close to someone who has. You may be a care worker or in a similar role and looking for your next career move. Whoever you are and whatever your experience is, it will provide you with a sound platform to build upon to fulfil the role of a Social Care Service Co-ordinator and we would love to hear from you.


Values driven We want Social Care Service Co-ordinators whose values mirror our own and treat our people with the respect they deserve. Our service recognises that people are experts in their own lives. Social Care Service Co-ordinators sometimes find themselves challenging the circumstances and environments that discriminate, stigmatise, marginalise, exclude or oppress. We need Social Care Service Co-ordinators who respect the dignity and diversity of the people we are here for. Our service is responsible for making sure our people live as independently as possible for as long as possible. We take a proportionate approach and involve ourselves in people's lives in the least intrusive way possible, doing no harm and always in their best interests.


Why join us:


We are a friendly community- Our recent staff survey revealed that people who work with us feel they work in an environment where there is a strong sense of community, where colleagues are friendly and support each other. We are indeed an extremely friendly and happy bunch of people with an all-inclusive culture that understands the value of diversity. Our goal is to create a diverse workforce which reflects that of the community we are here to serve. Our workplace has a community feel where we look out for one another and take our team and individual wellbeing seriously. Our culture of kindness is the golden thread that runs through all of us. When something needs to get done, we rally together, support each other, and draw on our networks and resources to make it happen.
