Liberty Private Care is looking for a Care Coordinator to assist in the day to day running of our domiciliary care business. Office hours are 09.00 - 17.00 Monday - Friday with a 30 minute lunch break.

Experience with Nourish would be an advantage.
On Call is included one weekend in three 5pm Friday - 9am Monday plus 4 evenings in every 3 weeks from 5pm - 9am , this involves taking emergency out of hours phone calls from staff or clients and if a care visit can’t be covered by regular staff, you would need to go and cover it. A work phone and tablet/ipad are provided for the on call. Our on call is not busy.
Liberty Private Care are looking for someone who is reliable, committed, an excellent communicator, flexible, computer literate and has previous experience as a care coordinator in a domiciliary care setting. You must be a minimum of NVQ 3 qualified in Adult Health & Social Care and a car driver with use of a car in case there is a need to cover a care visit either during office hours or whilst on call. Additional pay will be given for care visits undertaken during the on call period or outside of your working hours at £14.50/hour. Experience with complex care would be an advantage.
We are a family business and have been providing care for 33 years
We are not a ‘run of the mill’ care company, we go the extra mile for our staff and our clients and bridge the gap between health & social care. We therefore need someone with a positive, ‘can do’ attitude.

Most of our carers are NVQ qualified and all have a minimum of 2 years care experience.

About The Company
Liberty Private Care was founded by husband and wife team, Andrew and Fiona Key in 2019 when Fiona was unable to find the standard of care that she wanted for her own mother. Together, Fiona and Andrew have more than 75 years nursing and care experience and have worked in the NHS, for care agencies, residential care and nursing homes, and also run a successful homecare company in north-west England.
At Liberty Private Care we provide care that bridges the gap between traditional home care and nursing by giving our carers enhanced training above the norm, including RESTORE2 so that they can take observations for their clients if there are any concerns about them. We’ve also proactively worked with local and national bodies to improve care standards through innovation and training.
Andrew worked closely with organisations to help create and define the ‘Six Steps End of Life Accreditation’ for community care and Liberty Private Care earned this accreditation from the Countess Mountbatten Hospice in Southampton. We are one of the top 20 home care providers.
