As an Activities Co-ordinator, you will plan and implement activities that delight our Residents. You will also assist the Home Manager in organizing essential fundraising events.

We seek someone with experience working with vulnerable individuals, ideally in developing activity programmes. Your positive energy, ability to connect with people, planning, organizational, and IT skills are essential. You should manage your time effectively and communicate considerately and kindly with Residents and colleagues.

Safeguarding is everyone's responsibility. You must recognize signs of abuse, harm, or neglect and know how to respond. All staff are required to attend safeguarding training relevant to their role and undertake additional training as needed. You should also be able to seek advice and report concerns appropriately.

We offer full training, making this a great opportunity to learn new skills. In return, you will enjoy a wide range of benefits supporting your well-being and career development, including:

• Competitive hourly rate based on experience and qualifications
• Paid Enhanced DBS/PVG check
• Free uniform
• Nutritious meal during shifts of eight hours or more
• Company pension scheme
• 28 days annual leave including bank holidays
• Group life assurance

• GP online service for 24/7 consultations
• Learning from experienced colleagues in a supportive team
• Colleague discounts at over 1600 high street stores
• Confidential Employee Assistance Programme for physical, mental, and financial support
• Recognition schemes such as ‘Kindness in Care’ and Long Service Awards
