Activities Co-ordinator - Kings House

About The Role

Our homes are vibrant, joyful communities. An important part of creating such a happy atmosphere is the wide range of stimulating activities and entertainment we provide for our residents. As an Activities Coordinator, you'll be responsible for creating and delivering an ongoing programme of activities and events that engage residents, promote their independence, and are tailored to meet their individual needs.

Many of our residents live with various age-related conditions but still strive to lead full and active lives. You'll get to know them, find out what they love to do or perhaps used to love to do, and find ways of creating new memories with them.

Joining us means becoming part of our extended family. You'll work alongside other passionate team members dedicated to providing care, warmth, and kindness to all those who live and work in our homes.
