Description

If you enjoy a
vibrant, engaging and fast-paced work environment and you are a dedicated, hard-working individual looking for a rewarding position within social care, this could be just the job for you.

We are a leading family run, care company based in the London borough of Kingston-Upon-Thames. We provide care & support to vulnerable people to enable them to live independently at home.

Our carers move between our clients following rosters that are pre-planned by our team of three - made up of 2 care coordinators and a field care supervisor - who are based in our Kingston office.

Hours:
Mon to Thurs + on call Sunday. Optional paid care calls if desired and prove necessary.

Salary:
£24,999.00 per year

This role will require you to:

Schedule calls to predominantly live in care clients whilst taking account of care assistant skills, experience and time to safely deliver the care and support plan and the customer's preferences and care needs.
Ensure that all calls are covered for our 80+ clients in a timely manner.
Complete accurate staff rotas for our 55 carers.
Liaise with the registered manager to make sure sufficient care assistants with the right skills mix are recruited to meet the needs of the business.
Arrange cover for care assistant sickness, absenteeism or holidays.
Use IT systems and software to allocate care assistants to provide the necessary care and support.
Distribute / communicate the weekly staff rotas.

Work flexibly and collaboratively with the care team to help ensure the delivery of a high-quality home care service. We would propose a Monday to Thursday work pattern with a share of on call rotation for Sunday.

Previous experience of live-in care or working as a senior carer or in a care supervisory position would be a major advantage. In addition, prior experience of carrying out the effective recruitment and selection of carers and / or knowledge of Access People Planner IT Roster system would also be beneficial.

Working as a Care Coordinator demands excellent time management, strong organisational and prioritisation skills, the ability to communicate clearly and effectively together with the necessary IT / administrative skills.

In return, we offer the following benefits & rewards:
