What You’ll Do

Plan and Organise: Create and manage monthly rolling programmes as well as individual activities, encouraging residents to stay active and maintain their hobbies.
Foster Social Connections: Help residents socialize and enjoy their time in the care home through diverse activities that cater to all preferences.
Meal Times:Assist at meal times

• Creativity and Confidence: A friendly, creative, and confident personality that shines through in your work.
• Passion for Elderly Care: A genuine interest in working with the elderly, helping them live life to the fullest.

About us:

You’ll be joining a values-led care home that’s part of the Care Concern Group, a family-owned provider with over 100 care homes across the UK. We’re expanding rapidly and are committed to delivering high-quality care and support to our residents. If you’re ready to take on a rewarding role in a growing and supportive environment, we’d love to hear from you.
