With a genuine passion for the older generation, we’re seeking someone who is sociable, creative, fun-loving and above all well-organised.

Caring for our residents is at the heart of our business but looking after someone’s wellbeing in their next chapter of life goes much further than watching TV and a game of Bingo! Driven by our team of Activities Coordinators, you are the difference to ensuring that our residents’ days are filled with fun, variety and stimulation. Being able to build a rapport with our residents and getting to know their preferences is key to being able to make this role a success, as well as being inclusive of their individual preferences and care needs which range from low-level support through to dementia and nursing.

What You’ll Do

• Plan and Organize: 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.
• Keep Accurate Records: Maintain detailed documentation of daily activities.

What You’ll Bring

• Event Planning Skills: Proven ability to develop and organize a range of engaging events and activities.
• 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.
• Communication and Teamwork: Strong communication and organizational skills with the ability to work well both independently and as part of a team.

Experience and Requirements

Experience of working in a care home is not a pre-requisite - we are simply looking for someone who sparkles and who enjoys having fun whilst making a real difference to our fabulous residents.
