Are you passionate about working with people to promote independence and dedicated to making a difference?

About the role:

We have 3 full time (37 hours) Enablement Coordinator positions available in our Adult Social Care Enablement Service: 1 role based in Forest of Dean, 1 in Gloucester, and 1 in Tewkesbury. The Enablement Service support and encourage all vulnerable adults who may have a disability and who also may have challenging home circumstances. The Enablement aim to develop and promote daily living skills and promote a greater control over people’s lives.

The support work will take place in people’s homes, community and in the Forest of Dean, Gloucester and Tewksbury Drop In/s which are based in the libraries. The Drop In/s are a free walk-in service that support vulnerable adults who may need help with or advice about day-to-day life. For more information on the Drop-In’s and other support services, please visit Your Circle.

As an Enablement Coordinator, you will work directly with adults across Gloucestershire, supporting them to maintain or regain independence, improve wellbeing, and access appropriate services. The role combines enablement and care navigation functions, focusing on early intervention, crisis support, and community connection. The postholder will work collaboratively with individuals, families, carers, and professionals to deliver person-centred, strengths-based support.

This role is ideal for someone with great communication skills and who can prioritise and manage their own time confidently. It is also important that the successful candidates continue to develop and maintain good working relationships with outside partnerships, in order to signpost individuals as required.
