• Contracted to 35 hours per week - 5 x 7 hour shifts
• Pension

• Paid PVG
• Uniform Provided
• 5.6 Weeks Annual Leave (Based on a full-time contract)

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.

What You’ll Do:

• Create and manage monthly rolling programmes as well as individual activities, encouraging residents to stay active and maintain their hobbies.
• Help residents socialize and enjoy their time in the care home through diverse activities that cater to all preferences.
