This is a senior coordination role at the heart of how specialist support is planned, delivered and continuously improved for people with Learning Disabilities and Autism. You'll lead a small team of Co-ordinators, working closely with the Operations Manager to ensure our services are safe, person-centred, CQC compliant and consistently striving for Outstanding.

If you're a confident leader who is equally comfortable with people and planning, and who wants their work to directly shape the quality of support for some of the most vulnerable people in our communities, we'd love to hear from you.

The Role - What You'll Be Doing

As Lead Coordinator, you'll oversee the effective coordination of care and support across LIFE services, managing rotas, leading a team of Co-ordinators and ensuring that every person we support has the right support in place at the right time.

  • Work with commissioning partners to ensure we are responsive to new and existing care packages
  • Uphold Be Caring's policies, procedures and regulatory requirements at all times

About You

We're looking for someone who combines strong operational and organisational skills with genuine people leadership - someone who can hold the bigger picture while staying responsive to what's happening on the ground.

You will have:

  • Experience in a coordination or scheduling role, ideally within health, social care or a similarly complex service
  • Experience of managing or supporting a team
  • Proven ability to prioritise work, stay focused under pressure and manage competing demands
  • Strong verbal and written communication skills, with the confidence to liaise with colleagues, families and external professionals
  • A values-driven, person-centred approach

  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
