Job Introduction
Make a real difference to families and young people in Lancashire
HCRG Care Group is looking for a compassionate, organised and customer‑focused Care Coordinator (Administrator) to join our Care Coordination Hub. This is a fantastic opportunity to be part of a supportive team helping children, young people and families access the right care at the right time.
What you’ll do
As the first point of contact for patients, parents, carers and professionals, you will play a key role in delivering an excellent customer experience. In this role, you will:
-
Provide a friendly, efficient and professional response to all incoming telephone calls and emails into the Care Coordination Hub.
-
Filter, prioritise and direct queries to the correct Lancashire Healthy Young People & Family Services teams.
-
Support clinical teams by booking and scheduling routine clinic appointments in line with service rules and protocols.
-
Ensure referrals and enquiries are signposted promptly to the appropriate services within required timescales.
-
Work collaboratively with colleagues across the service to ensure smooth and effective coordination of care.
What we're looking for
You will thrive in this role if you:
-
Have excellent communication and customer service skills.
-
Can remain calm and supportive when managing a high volume of calls or complex queries.
-
Are highly organised with strong attention to detail.
-
Enjoy working in a busy, fast‑paced team environment.
-
Are confident using IT systems and eager to learn new processes.
-
Are willing and able to travel across Lancashire to support other hubs if and when required (Valid UK Driving Licence essential).
Experience in healthcare or coordination roles is desirable but not essential — your people skills and proactive approach matter most.
This role is based between Preston and Burnley so ability and willingness to travel across both hubs is essential.
Why join HCRG Care Group?
-
Be part of an organisation committed to improving lives and outcomes for families.
-
Work with friendly, flexible and supportive colleagues.
-
Access development opportunities and training to help your career grow.

As you’d expect, safeguarding and protecting the children, young people and vulnerable adults that we work with is of the utmost importance so we have policies and procedures in place to promote safeguarding and safer working practices and everyone who joins the team is subject to a safer recruitment process, including the disclosure of criminal records and vetting checks.
