Overview of the Care Administrator & Coordinator Role


The Senior Care Coordinator is pivotal in ensuring our daily Care operation meets the needs of our Clients, whilst our Caregivers have a good work-life balance.


In a highly reactive environment, your primary function is creating weekly rotas, ensuring Clients receive Care precisely when they require it and the availability to work of our Caregivers is sympathetically maximised.


We typically offer a minimum of one hour Care visit to our Clients that live in their own homes around Beaconsfield, High Wycombe, Amersham, Stokenchurch and surrounding areas.

You will work closely with the Registered Manager and Care Assessor to decide which client package can be taken on and in what realistic time scale.


You will undoubtedly be pleased to know that we always provide Caregivers with sufficent travel time between visits and we do not offer 15 min calls.


Get a feel for the whole operation


In the first few weeks, you will join our Care Supervisor as she carries out client reviews, new client assessments and spot checks, whilst simultaneously meeting our clients and understanding the expectations we place on our Caregivers.


Once you have an appreciation of our field operation you will begin to work with our existing Care Coordinator learning the systems, intricacies and key tasks of this challenging role as you transition into taking over all Care Coordinator responsibilities.

The Senior Care Coordinator role is extremely fast paced and requires someone truly dedicated, flexible and able to remain positive and professional when working under pressure with ever changing information and moving goal posts:

  • Well organised with a high attention to detail
