Care Coordinator - Care at Home - Homecare
Edinburgh | c.£30,000 - £32,000 | Full-Time | Monday to Friday
Everyone's talking about the care sector being in crisis. But not every service is struggling. Some are quietly getting on with doing things properly.
This is one of them.
A well-regarded, privately-owned home care provider in Edinburgh is looking for a Care Coordinator to join their small team. They're not chasing rapid growth. They're focused on quality, reputation, and doing right by their clients and carers. They need someone alongside them who thinks the same way.
The role
You'll take ownership of scheduling and rota coordination for a team of around 30 care staff, making sure shifts are covered and the service runs smoothly. Alongside that, you'll be responsible for supporting the care team directly, supervisions, spot checks, appraisals, and training support.
It's a mix of office-based coordination and time out in the field, with the scheduling side taking the larger share of your week. You won't be expected to deliver care day-to-day, but the willingness to step in when the team needs you matters here.
Who fits?
Someone calm, organised, and quietly effective. This is a small, close-knit team and the right person will bring a steady, composed presence rather than chaos. You'll work closely with the Registered Manager, who has invested real time and effort into building this service up and takes pride in the standard of care being delivered.
You'll need experience in a care coordination or senior care role within home care, ideally with a Level 3 qualification or above. You'll understand the rhythm of care at home/homecare/domiciliary care. The moving parts, the last-minute changes, and the satisfaction of a week where every carer felt supported and every client was looked after.
Why this one?
The majority of the business is private, clients are long-standing, and new referrals come through word of mouth. That tells you everything about the reputation this provider has built locally. There's a genuine sense of community here, both within the team and with the people they support.
On-call is shared on a rota basis, and the structure is there for this to be manageable rather than all-consuming.
