How to run the hire
1. Define the service
Be clear on the size, type and rostering demands.
2. Score for organisation and care
Weight strong coordination and care understanding.
3. Move reasonably quickly
These roles fill fairly fast.
4. Test with a scenario
Use a last-minute staffing gap to hear how they'd solve it.
5. Reference reliability
Confirm they kept care organised and covered.
Fees typically run 15-18% of first-year salary, capped and agreed upfront.
Nothing is due until your hire starts, and candidates are compliance-checked.
Usually 3-6 weeks.
The pool is reasonable, so we focus on screening for organisation and care awareness.
A Care Coordinator organises the delivery of care - rostering staff, matching carers to clients, managing changes and covering gaps.
In domiciliary care especially, they keep the service running smoothly day to day.
Often, yes. Many coordinators progress to Deputy or Registered Manager roles.
Flagging that path helps you attract and keep capable people.
Try: Three carers call in sick this morning - what do you do?
How do you match staff to clients well?
How do you handle a difficult call from a family member? and How do you stay organised under pressure?
Yes, across domiciliary, supported living and complex care services.
We match rostering and service experience to your needs.
