We offer great benefits and perks, and plenty of opportunities to learn, develop and progress.

About the role

Our Activities Coordinators organise creative and fun activities for the people we support.

No two days will ever be the same, but your day-to-day responsibilities will include:

• organising individual activity plans based on people’s unique goals and interests

• enthusiastic, encouraging and inclusive
• a born organiser with a positive, can-do approach
• great at listening and communicating
• understanding of individual needs.

Must hold a full clean drivers license (manual)

You’ll put people at the heart of everything you do. If you haven’t worked in the care sector before, we’ll help you feel right at home from the start with our induction, buddy and ongoing training programmes.
