At edyn.care we’re on a mission to modernise live-in care, so people can live happily and safely at home, on their own terms.

Founded with a belief that care can be done better, we combine exceptional carers, thoughtful operations and powerful technology to deliver a better experience for clients and families. We are proud to be rated ‘Good’ by the Care Quality Commission.

We’re growing and looking for exceptional people to help us build what outstanding care should look like in the 21st century.

Overview

We are looking for a compassionate, organised and commercially aware Live-in Care Assessor to join our Sales team as our specialist in onboarding new clients.

You will take ownership of the care assessment and preparation needed to start a new live-in care package safely. You’ll understand each client’s needs, wishes and home environment; create person-centred care plans and risk assessments; complete the required documentation; and work with colleagues to identify a suitable professional carer.

You will also attend Care Management meetings and act as the link between the Sales and Care Management teams. By sharing clear assessments, emerging risks, client preferences and the reasons behind each proposed package, you’ll help colleagues prepare for the start of care and take over with confidence.

This role suits someone who enjoys meeting clients and families, making sound care decisions, and turning a promising enquiry into a well-planned, safe service.
