Bluebird Care: Where you change lives
We’re the best at what we do, and it’s all thanks to talented people like you. As a leading Home Care provider, we take pride in our work, and we’re looking for an organised and dedicated Care Coordinator to join our team and help us set the standard.
Our customers should feel comfortable and supported in their own homes, and effective care coordination helps make that possible. You’ll be responsible for planning and maintaining care rotas, managing changes and working closely with our customers, their families, Care Assistants and the wider office team.
This isn’t just a scheduling role. It’s an opportunity to play an important part in delivering safe, reliable and person-centred care.
If you’re ready to take on a new challenge and help us provide our customers with the best-quality care, then this is where you belong.
Responsibilities
As a Care Coordinator, your key responsibilities will include:
- Planning and maintaining care rotas at least four weeks in advance.
- Matching Care Assistants to customers based on their needs, preferences, availability and location.
- Ensuring sufficient travel time is provided between visits.
- Managing daily rota changes and arranging cover for sickness, holidays, absence and emergencies.
- Coordinating new care packages and implementing changes as customers’ needs develop.
- Ensuring visit times meet customer expectations and service standards.
- Communicating professionally with customers, families and Care Assistants.
- Maintaining accurate electronic records and documenting important communications.
- Responding to coordination concerns and supporting their prompt resolution.
- Working closely with the wider office team to maintain a safe, reliable and person-centred service.
- Participating in the shared out-of-hours on-call rota, in addition to the usual working hours.
