**What are we looking for?**

We are looking for a dynamic and caring individual with experience of Care Coordination who is also big on promoting independence and ensuring that every task is driven by the customer's own choice and completed with them, not for them.

You could be helping people who have mental health problems, learning difficulties, physical disabilities, or people who would just like a bit of help in general. We support people from the ages of 18 years old right through to retirement and beyond.

**What hands on work will you do?**

Each day is varied, and flexibility is required.

You will be coordinating care and support workers whose schedule is tailored to the needs and wishes of the customer. Through getting to know the people we support; you will identify and work with them to achieve their goals and help enable them to have choice and control over their lives.

You will also be expected to carry out everyday tasks which can include general administration, on-call support (on a rota system) and on occasion be part of the contingency.

At EarlyBird Lifestyle Support, we want to help those we support remain free of the need of care for as long as possible. Your role will be someone who goes above and beyond what would be expected from generic home help service and someone who always behaves professionally with integrity and with honesty.
