We're looking for an enthusiastic and compassionate Wellbeing Lead to join our family and help make each day special for the people who call our home their own.

• Organising social events, seasonal celebrations, themed days, and community activities
• Encouraging social interaction and meaningful engagement throughout the home
• Building positive relationships with residents, relatives, and the wider community
• Arranging outings and trips that promote wellbeing and enjoyment
• Working closely with care colleagues to support residents' individual wellbeing goals
• Maintaining activity records and evaluating engagement to ensure activities remain meaningful and person‑centred

• Warm, approachable, and naturally positive
• Passionate about enhancing the lives of older people
• Creative, enthusiastic, and full of ideas
• Organised and confident in planning activities and events
• A strong communicator who enjoys building relationships
• Flexible and willing to support occasional weekend events when required
• Experienced within care, wellbeing, hospitality, education, community, or activity‑based roles (desirable but not essential)

Most importantly, you'll share our values and genuinely care about making a positive difference every day.

In return, we offer:

• A friendly and welcoming workplace
• Full induction and ongoing training opportunities
• Supportive management and colleagues
• Opportunities for personal and professional development
• A rewarding role where you can make a genuine difference every day
• The chance to build meaningful relationships with residents and their families

Why Join Us?

The most meaningful moments often come from the simplest things: a shared laugh, a favourite song, a trip out in the community, or helping someone reconnect with treasured memories. As our Wellbeing Lead, you'll have the opportunity to create those moments every day while being part of a caring, family‑focused team that puts residents at the heart of everything we do.

If you're looking for a rewarding role where your creativity, kindness, and enthusiasm can make a real difference, we'd love to hear from you.
