Now, with demand continuing to rise, we are opening a lovely new office in Plymouth, based in the PL1 area with easy access by public transport.

This is not your average desk job — it’s a fast-paced, highly pressured role where you’ll be right at the centre of operations. If you thrive on juggling multiple priorities, staying calm when the pressure is on, and finding solutions in the moment, this could be the role for you!

• Participation in the on-call rota (1 week in 8)

Why join us?

This is a challenging role that demands resilience, organisation, and a cool head under pressure — but it’s also hugely rewarding. You’ll never be bored, you’ll always be learning, and you’ll be part of a team that plays a vital role in changing people’s lives.

We’re a Disability Confident committed employer and will make reasonable adjustments to support candidates throughout the recruitment process.

What you’ll be doing:

• Co-ordinating and scheduling care each week, ensuring clients receive seamless support in their own homes
• Handling a high volume of inbound and outbound calls to both clients and care workers
• Reacting quickly to last-minute changes, emergencies, and staffing challenges
• Keeping your Team Leader fully updated on any critical issues
• Ensuring compliance with policies and procedures, with a sharp eye on safeguarding, continuity of care, and regulatory standards
• Communicating clearly and compassionately, even when conversations are challenging or sensitive
• Thinking on your feet, solving problems fast, and helping the team deliver under pressure

• Competently represent the company and maintain/develop positive relationships with internal and external stakeholders

What to look forward to:

• 25 days plus bank holidays (pro rata)
• Birthday off
• Join the Active Learning Hub and benefit from a wide range of e learning and face to face training and development opportunities
