The Role

The Team Coordinator is a vital part of the senior team for our residential homes. As part of your role, you will be expected to lead a shift, administer medication, contribute to person centred care plans, and facilitate admissions and discharges for our residents.

Reporting to a Deputy Team Manager and working alongside other Team Coordinators, you will have responsibility for a team of Support Workers to include line management, supervision, and the development of the team. The overall support of your staff team is key to this role, ensuring that both mandatory and individual training and development needs are identified.

You will work with care staff to contribute to and develop personal support plans with residents who may have restricted mobility and/or challenging behaviour, to ensure the highest quality of care and support is provided.

As a positive role model, you will be open to change and show a willingness to get involved by presenting a self-assured image in a variety of situations, through this you will demonstrate your commitment to service priorities. Should you encounter practices or behaviour which does not meet service standards you are expected to challenge this and make the relevant Manager or Deputy Team Managers aware of the actions taken.

As part of your wider duties and responsibilities you are required to promote and actively support the Councils responsibilities towards safeguarding. Safeguarding is about keeping people safe and protecting them from harm, neglect, abuse, and injury. It is about creating safe places, being vigilant and doing something about any concerns you might have.
