We are looking for a passionate and motivated Care Coordinator to join our Connecting Care Team East.
Our team supports adults aged 18 and over who have care and support needs, working to promote independence, dignity, and wellbeing. Connecting Care Team East is a highly supportive and friendly team with a wealth of experience in adult social care.
As a Care Coordinator, you will play a key role in helping people live as independently as possible. This includes undertaking conversation-based social care assessments, re-assessments, reviews, and developing outcome-focused support plans that reflect individual needs.
You will take a proactive approach in responding to individual circumstances, signposting to appropriate services, and determining eligibility through to completion of assessments in line with the Care Act. Your work will be rooted in a person-centred, strengths-based, and outcome-focused approach, ensuring that people remain at the heart of everything we do.
While a social work qualification is not essential, you must have knowledge of care management and an understanding of the Care Act. It is also important that you are well-organised and have up-to-date knowledge of relevant legislation, including the Mental Capacity Act and Human Rights Act .
At Wakefield Council, we are committed to safeguarding, promoting independence, and ensuring that the wellbeing of vulnerable adults is a priority.
We offer:
• Outstanding professional development opportunities
• A variety of tailored and varied training opportunities
• Excellent salary with incremental increases
• Flexible and hybrid working options to support work-life balance
• Generous annual leave entitlement
• Occupational pension scheme
• Access to benefit schemes such as Blue Light Card and discounted Aspire membership
If you have the qualities, enthusiasm, and commitment to make a difference in adult social care, we would love to hear from you.
