Full Job Description

Admissions Coordinator

At Yeldall Manor, we have been helping men overcome drug and alcohol addiction for 50 years through our residential rehabilitation programme and Christian recovery community. We believe that lasting recovery is possible and are committed to supporting individuals to rebuild their lives, restore relationships and develop a renewed sense of purpose.

We are looking for a commited Christian to join our Recovery Coordination Team as an organised and proactive Admissions Coordinator. As the first point of contact for prospective residents, commissioners, families and referring agencies, you will play a vital role in ensuring that individuals receive a professional, welcoming and supportive experience from their first enquiry through to admission.

This is an exciting opportunity for someone with excellent communication and organisational skills, experience working with vulnerable adults or within health and social care settings, and a passion for helping people begin their recovery journey.

What will you do?

• Coordinate the admissions process from initial enquiry through assessment and admission.
• Conduct and arrange admissions interviews, both in person and remotely.
• Review referrals, risk assessments, professional reports and supporting information.
• Assess suitability of applicants against programme criteria and make recommendations regarding admission.
• Maintain regular communication with applicants, referrers and commissioners throughout the admissions journey.
• Develop and maintain positive relationships with local authorities, probation services, healthcare professionals and partner organisations.
• Coordinate admission arrangements, funding approvals and placement planning.
• Maintain accurate admissions records, databases and documentation.
• Produce admissions, occupancy and referral reports as required.
• Support the promotion of Yeldall Manor's services through networking, stakeholder engagement and partnership development.

What are we looking for?

• Experience working within health, social care, addiction recovery, rehabilitation, housing or related services.
• Strong administration, organisation and record-keeping skills.
• Experience of handling referrals, applications, assessments or admissions processes.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
• Ability to develop positive and professional relationships with a wide range of stakeholders.

About You

You will be someone who thrives on supporting people at critical points in their lives. You will be highly organised, able to manage competing priorities, and confident communicating with professionals, commissioners, families and prospective residents.

Most importantly, you will be committed to helping individuals take the first steps towards recovery while ensuring every applicant is treated with dignity, respect and compassion. We welcome applications from people in recovery; however, due to the nature of the role and the support provided to residents, a minimum of two years' sustained recovery (clean time) is required.

As a Christian charity, we bring our faith to the work we do and the men we work with, so you will be someone with a deep-rooted Christian faith, able to inspire others in their own faith journeys, seeking the guidance of the Holy Spirit in all key decisions. Schedule 9, Part 1:3(a) of the Equality Act 2010 applies.

What We Offer

• 25 days annual leave plus bank holidays (pro rata where applicable), increasing to 30 days after three years' continuous service.
• Pension scheme in line with auto-enrolment legislation.
• Employee Assistance Programme providing confidential support and counselling.
• Death in service life insurance.

PURPOSE OF ROLE

Major donors and philanthropists are currently responsible for over a quarter of Caudwell Youth’s annual income – due in part to the generosity of the networks of our founder, John Caudwell.

As Caudwell Youth enters its fourth year, we are seeking a Senior Philanthropy and Corporate Partnerships manager to help us expand beyond our strong founder-led base into a sustainable major donor and corporate supporter portfolio.

Proactive and commercially-minded, you will be confident driving and developing all stages of the major donor and corporate supporter stewardship process. Confidence in engaging in new business research, prospecting, initial meetings and pitches is a must, as you will be responsible for growing our small pipeline of supporters and warm prospects into a long-term income stream.

This is essential to Caudwell Youth’s future sustainability, with corporate partnerships and major donor income currently making up 30% of Caudwell Youth’s annual fundraising income (forecast to be around £450,000 this year).

Our ambition is to increase this revenue stream by around 50% to over £800,000 by 2030, in order to support more at-risk young people from across the UK, as set out in our recently launched strategy, Going National.

This is a role for a self-starter who is excited to drive high value growth and be a key part of Caudwell Youth’s upward trajectory, working within a small but dynamic fundraising team. It offers significant opportunity to shape and lead this area of fundraising as it grows.

You will be an experienced fundraiser with a proven track record of securing major gifts of four, five and six figure gifts, familiarity with managing corporate partnerships and evidence of growing and developing new pipelines and revenue streams.

• Face-to-face meetings and events
• Unique ways to be consulted on and engage with our work
