The role of the Team Coordinator (Senior Support Worker) in Newcastle Area is an important one within the community team as you are representing Coquet Trust to the people we support, their families and wider circle of support, as well as local agencies, and of course being an exceptional and forward-thinking leader to your team.
The purpose of this role is to enable the people we support to live their own life though the application of person-centred approaches, promoting individual choice, decision-making, control and independence.
For this particular role you would be working with a vibrant young woman in her 20s living in Wallsend who enjoys expressing herself through creative outlets like dance, arts and crafts, and exploring different hairstyles and makeup. She has a great sense of humour, once she gets to know you, and loves Disney movies. This person is currently learning sign language and enjoys teaching it to others.

The ideal candidate will be passionate about empowering the person to develop her independence and life skills, while also ensuring her safety and wellbeing.
