Unfortunately we are not able to offer sponsorship to work in the UK, and we do ask that you have 6 months of UK based work experience (in any sector) before applying.

At Hollybank we believe in quality of life, for life.

We are now looking for an enthusiastic, creative, proactive and passionate Activities Coordinator to join our dedicated Enrichment Team. Please read the job description fully before you submit your application.

• Happiness - being cheerful and positive, bringing your best self to work and sharing your enthusiasm for life with the people we are here to support.
• Kindness - being caring and compassionate, reaching out to your colleagues if they look like they're struggling, being an active member of the team and working together to achieve shared goals.

What we offer:

• Onsite food and coffee shop – Mirfield site only.
