Social Care Quality Checking Coordinator

Summary of the Role:
We are commissioned to carry out Quality Checks of support services where disabled people or people who face disabling barriers live, including Supported Living settings, Residential Homes, Day Services, Assessment and Treatment units and individual homes. The purpose of the Quality Checks is to ensure that people who live in these settings are safe, and living healthy, happy and meaningful lives and that the support they receive is appropriate to their needs.

All our Quality Checks involve a Quality Checker (an Expert by Experience) with lived experience of disability or mental ill health working alongside a Quality Checking Coordinator.  On visits, we talk with people living in these settings to gather information regarding their quality of life and the quality of care and support they have.

The Coordinator’s role is to organise the checks and facilitate them on the day, whilst the Expert by Experience asks most of the questions. The Coordinator is responsible for compiling all the information gathered during the Quality Check and producing a report which is shared with the Provider and Commissioners. The Coordinator also has line management responsibility for a small number of the quality checkers on the team.

Job Purpose
To organise and facilitate Quality Checks, working alongside and supporting Experts by Experience (people with lived experience) to complete Quality Checks in a range of care and support settings.

A more diverse workforce will enable us to deliver even more impact, and we particularly encourage applications from communities which are currently underrepresented.
