Adullam has opportunities available to join our support team in Bury as a Service Coordinator.

About the role – Service Coordinator

• You will help a service user to develop the skills needed to move on into independent living/permanent housing via a person-centred support package that is tailor made to suit the needs of everyone accessing the service.
• The role works on a rota to contribute to the staffing of a 24-hours-a-day service.
• The role is full time of 37.5 hours per week. The shift pattern is 7.5 hours a day between the hours of 8am and 8.30pm weekdays, with an occasional weekend shift (currently one every 3 weeks) to deliver activities and some elements of the service outside of 'normal working hours'.
• You will be expected to work within the organisation's charitable aims and objectives and contribute to the maintenance and development of the Association's values, culture, and ethos.

About you

We are looking for a Service Coordinator with:
