Join KTG Homecare
KTG is a growing, client-centred homecare provider committed to delivering high-quality, personalised care that enables people to remain independent and live well in their own homes.
We are looking for a forward-thinking, experienced Care Coordinator to join our team on an initial 9-month fixed-term contract to cover maternity leave, with the potential for the role to continue beyond this period depending on business needs and performance.
This is an exciting opportunity for someone who is confident taking ownership, enjoys working in a fast-paced environment and wants to make a genuine difference to the lives of the people we support.
About the Role
As a Care Coordinator, you will play a key role in ensuring our care services are safe, effective, well organised and centred around the individual.
Your responsibilities will include:
- Coordinating and managing care rotas, ensuring appropriate staffing and continuity of care.
- Creating, reviewing and maintaining person-centred care plans.
- Completing initial assessments and supporting the development of care packages.
- Liaising with clients, families and representatives to understand their needs and ensure their wishes remain at the heart of their care.
- Working closely with health and social care professionals and other external agencies.
- Supporting the Field Care Supervisor and wider management team.
- Monitoring the delivery of care and responding proactively to any concerns or changes in client needs.
- Supporting compliance with company policies, procedures and relevant care standards.
- Participating in the on-call rota as required.
- Providing care and practical support where necessary to ensure continuity of service.
- Visiting clients in their homes and carrying out assessments, reviews and quality checks.
- Taking responsibility for identifying and resolving issues quickly and effectively.
- Contributing ideas and improvements to help KTG continue to develop and provide an excellent service.
About You
We are looking for someone who is proactive, accountable and genuinely client-focused.
You will ideally have:
- Previous experience working within the care sector.
- Experience in a care coordination, senior care or supervisory role is desirable.
- A good understanding of person-centred care and the needs of individuals receiving care at home.
- Confidence communicating with clients, families, care staff and health and social care professionals.
- Strong organisational and time-management skills.
- The ability to coordinate rotas and respond calmly to changing priorities.
- Excellent communication and interpersonal skills.
- The confidence to make decisions and take ownership of your responsibilities.
- A forward-thinking approach and a willingness to identify opportunities for improvement.
- The ability to work independently as well as part of a wider team.
- A full UK driving licence and access to a vehicle – essential, as the role involves travelling to clients' homes and completing initial assessments.
- Flexibility to participate in an on-call rota.
What We Are Looking For
This role would suit someone who doesn't simply want to "do the job", but wants to take ownership and make a difference.
At KTG, we want our Care Coordinators to be confident, solutions-focused and willing to go the extra mile for the people we support. You will be an important link between our clients, families, care team and professionals, helping to ensure that care is delivered safely, consistently and in a truly person-centred way.
You will also be expected to support the wider team when required, including assisting the Field Care Supervisor and providing care where necessary.
Why Join KTG?
- Join a supportive and growing homecare organisation.
- Opportunity to make a real difference to people's lives.
- Varied role with responsibility and autonomy.
- Opportunity for the position to continue beyond the initial 9-month maternity cover, depending on business requirements and performance.
- Work alongside a dedicated team committed to delivering high-quality care.
- Opportunity to develop your skills and progress within the organisation.
