Activities Co-ordinator Activities Co-ordinator in Holmfirth

Part Time Weekend Role Saturday and Sunday 9-5, 16 hours a week. In your role as an Activities Co-ordinator at HC-One, kindness will be at the core of everything you do. It touches upon every aspect of our Dementia, Nursing, Residential and Specialist care homes. By joining HC-One you'll have a wonderful opportunity to give something back to residents.

As an Activities Co-ordinator you will plan and implement activities that delight our Residents, help the Home Manager organise essential fundraising events, and work with the care home team to engage Residents in activities with kindness at the forefront.

HC-One is looking for someone with a background in working with vulnerable individuals, ideally developing activity programmes. Beyond that, it’s about your positive energy and ability to work well with people. You’ll have strong planning, organisational and IT skills and be able to manage your time effectively, while communicating with Residents and co-workers with genuine consideration and kindness.

Safeguarding is everyone’s responsibility; you should recognise signs of abuse, harm or neglect and know what to do if concerns arise. All colleagues are required to attend safeguarding training appropriate to their role and to undertake additional training in related areas. You should be able to seek appropriate advice and report concerns, including escalation if action is not taken.

About HC-One: kindness is more than a word—it’s a way of life. We believe caring for people means caring about what matters most to them, so we can support them to live their best possible lives. To provide the kindest possible care, HC-One promotes five key qualities we call the HC-One Way: curiosity, compassion, creativity, courage, and dependability. We champion inclusivity and welcome applicants from all backgrounds, prioritising inclusive working practices. We are also enhancing support for residents through digital care planning and are looking for team members who are comfortable with technology or open to learning. We provide clear career pathways, continuous professional development, and postgraduate programmes to invest in your growth, including opportunities at regional and national levels.
