About the role

TECS Coordinator Technology Enabled Care

Cambridgeshire | Hybrid working | SO1

Were looking for aTECS Coordinatorto join Cambridgeshires Technology Enabled Care Service. Depending on where youve seen similar roles before, you might also think of this as Assistive Technology, Care Technology, or Digital Care coordination.

Whatever the label, the essence of the role is the same: listening, understanding,analysingand finding the right mix of support sometimes practical, sometimes technological, often both.

Why TECS is an exciting place to work

Recent TECS work has included exploring activity monitoring to help spot deterioration earlier, using smarter falls technology to reduce avoidable emergency responses, and finding practical techbased solutions for people living with dementia or neurodivergent needs. Weve also tested how everyday and mainstream technology can support independence, confidence and wellbeing often in ways people dont expect. Weve even created a VR/AR version of our Smart Flat, enabling professionals and members of our community to get hands on with the technologies we provide from anywhere!

This is a role for someone who enjoys learning, experimenting and improving how services work not just delivering them the same way forever.

Youll be joining a team that is welcoming and collaborative. This is emotionally intelligent work, and we acknowledge that. Problemsolving is shared. Learning is encouraged. New ideas are welcomed.

We work across services and professions, value fairness and inclusion, and support people to develop at their own pace. If youre patient, proactive, friendly, analytical, openminded and curious about how technology can support people to live better lives, We encourage you to apply.

Part of our role includes travelling across the county, so a driving license is essential.

For more information or to chat about this opportunity please contact Sean Figura via email: sean.figura@cambridgeshire.gov.uk

Appointment to this post will be subject to the outcome of an Enhanced Disclosure obtained through the Disclosure and Barring Service. The Council is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and vulnerable adults and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment

About you

What ourservicesays really matters in this job

When we asked our own TECS colleagues what makes someone great in this role, they didnt start with qualifications or career history. They talked about patience staying calm when situations are complex or emotionally charged. They talked about being proactive, noticing when something isnt quite right and taking action. They talked about being friendly and approachable, because people confide when they feel genuinely listened to.

They also talked about being analytical and creative at the same time: weighing up information, spotting patterns, and thinking beyond standard answers.They talked about enjoying technologynot as an expert, but as someone curious; abit of a gadgeteer-someone who enjoys learning how things work and imagining how they might help.

Care or community experience helps but it doesnt have to look a particular way. Lived experience, voluntary work, personal caring responsibilities or other transferable skills all matter.
