Resettlement Coordinator

Age UK Berkshire is expanding its services and is looking to recruit a motivated individual to help and support older people thinking about relocating / moving home.

For many older people this will mean looking at alternative living arrangements e.g. sheltered housing, smaller house, new location closer to family or a care / nursing home.  In a world where everything is done online, researching and arranging such moves can be very difficult.  We are looking for someone who can help and support older people with relocation, from thinking about where they want to live, to supporting with all the administration and practical support around moving.  This will mean talking to estate agents, care homes, and removal companies, putting the needs of the older person that they are supporting at the heart of what they do, in order to ensure a smooth, stress-free process.

If you feel you have what it takes to offer this support, please get in contact with us- it is likely that you may have experience in dealing with housing needs, conveyancing and moving. This could be in a professional capacity or as an individual.

Closing date for applications is 20th October 2025 and interviews will be held on the 24^th and 28^th October 2025.
