We are recruiting on behalf of our client, a newly established and ambitious care provider, for a confident and experienced Care Coordinator to support the continued development of their services across Manchester.
Originally launched as a domiciliary care provider, the organisation has recently expanded into Supported Living and is now seeking a knowledgeable professional who can bring strong Supported Living expertise into the team.

You will also be responsible for onboarding new staff, signing off compliance documentation, and supporting the mobilisation of new care packages.
