About the Service We are a CQC-registered domiciliary care provider supporting adults aged 18 across Ipswich and the wider Suffolk area. Our services include elderly care, dementia support, mental health, complex needs, and reablement, delivered through a person-centred and responsive approach.
We pride ourselves on strong communication, safe staffing, and high-quality coordination that ensures both clients and care workers feel supported.
The Role We are seeking an organised, calm, and people-focused Care Coordinator to support the day-to-day coordination of care delivery. This role is vital in ensuring visits are safely staffed, rotas are accurate, and care continues smoothly — even when plans change at short notice.

* Maintain accurate records on the care management/scheduling system
* Support onboarding of new care packages, including start dates and rota setup
* Escalate risks, incidents, and safeguarding concerns appropriately
* Contribute to service quality through strong documentation and problem-solving
* Participate in the on-call rota if required (to be discussed at interview)
What We’re Looking For Essential:
* Experience in domiciliary care coordination, scheduling, or a similar care operations role
* Strong understanding of person-centred care and safeguarding
* Confident communication skills, including handling sensitive conversations
* Highly organised with excellent attention to detail
* Comfortable using digital care systems and scheduling platforms
Desirable:
* Knowledge of CQC expectations (Safe, Effective, Caring, Responsive, Well-led)
* Experience coordinating dementia, mental health, or complex care packages
* NVQ/QCF Level 3 in Health & Social Care (or working towards)
* UK driving licence (preferred due to local travel)
One month of complimentary accommodation is available if relocation is required.
What’s on Offer

* A meaningful role with real impact on service quality and client outcomes
