Are you highly organised, calm under pressure and looking for a role where your work genuinely matters?
Paragon Home Healthcare is looking for a Care Coordinator to join our Richmond-based team on a 14-month maternity cover contract.
We are a specialist, nurse-led home care provider supporting clients with spinal cord injuries, neurological conditions and acquired brain injury. As partners of the Spinal Injuries Association and members of BABICM, we provide high-quality, person-centred care that helps people live safely and independently at home.
This is a full-time role based in Richmond, London, with a starting salary of £28,000 per annum, or commensurate with experience.
As Care Coordinator, you will play a key role in making sure care runs smoothly day to day. You will be involved in rota planning, communication with carers and clients, problem-solving, supporting staff and working closely with our care management team.

You will need to be organised, proactive and confident communicating with different people throughout the day.
