About the role

As a Care Coordinator with a focus on domiciliary care, you will play a key role in supporting the coordination and delivery of high-quality home care services.

About the company

At Homecare Gurus, we believe exceptional care starts with genuine compassion and a deep understanding of people’s needs. Founded in 2020, our story began during one of the most challenging times in recent history, the COVID-19 pandemic.

As the healthcare sector faced unprecedented strain, our founder, Julie, stepped in to volunteer as a carer. What started as an act of service quickly became a life-changing calling. With a professional background in problem-solving and service delivery, Julie recognised the deeper gaps within the care industry, particularly the disconnect between Domiciliary and Residential Care.

Driven by the desire to make a real difference, Homecare Gurus was created to bridge that gap.

Today, we provide carers with a holistic view of care, equipping them with the skills, empathy, and adaptability to serve across both home and residential settings. This integrated approach fosters a consistent, personalised, and compassionate experience for our clients, one that promotes dignity, comfort, and connection at every stage.
