In joining us, you’ll also become part of our extended family. You’ll work alongside other team members who are passionate about providing care, warmth and kindness to all those who live and work in our homes.

ABOUT YOU

You’ll either be experienced in creating, organising and delivering events and activities or have worked with elderly people in a residential setting, but either way you’ll be confident in engaging with our residents to understand what they love to do as a group or on a one-to-one basis.

You’ll be comfortable in engaging with the local community, bringing people in to enhance your activities programme as necessary, to ensure our residents get the added stimulation of life outside of the home. You’ll also encourage team members, relatives and friends to participate in the activities and events you organise.
