An exciting opportunity has arisen within the Regulated Care Team at Northamptonshire Carers. Our Regulated Care service provides emergency and planned short respite for unpaid carers as well as providing vital support to individuals overnight who are transitioning from hospital to home. We also manage a Community Companion service which offers volunteer befriending support, allowing carers to have a regular break from their caring role.  This is a dynamic, fast-paced role that requires excellent organisational, communication and problem-solving skills.

As a Care Coordinator, you will play a key role in managing referrals, coordinating care visits and volunteer visits; supporting with staff observations and spot checks in the community as well as client assessments, ensuring high-quality, person-centred support for individuals living in their own homes. Working closely with colleagues across Northamptonshire Carers, healthcare professionals, social care teams, unpaid carers and families, you will help deliver responsive and effective care services across the county.

Due to the collaborative nature of the role, office-based working is essential, along with travel throughout Northamptonshire. Participation in the out-of-hours on-call rota is required and appropriately remunerated.

·       Ensure staff are appropriately trained, competent and operating in line with quality standards.

The successful candidate will be highly organised, adaptable and confident working in a busy environment where priorities can change quickly. You will possess excellent communication and IT skills, a strong understanding of care coordination processes and a commitment to delivering high-quality, compassionate support to carers and clients alike.

 This job description is intended to outline the main duties and responsibilities of the role and may be reviewed and amended to meet the changing needs of the organisation.
