Activities Co-ordinator Activities Co-ordinator in Honiton

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. Every single person who works here understands that our Residents are people just like them with their own stories to tell. By joining HC‑One you will have a wonderful opportunity to give something back to those people.

As an Activities Co‑ordinator, it will mean planning and implementing the kinds of activities that will delight our Residents, helping the Home Manager organise essential fundraising events, boosting confidence to socialise, inspiring new activity ideas based on Residents’ hobbies, and bringing the care home team together – all with a sense of kindness above all else.

HC‑One are looking for someone with a background working with vulnerable individuals, ideally developing activity programmes. Beyond that, we value your brilliant, positive energy and natural ability to get along with people. You will have great planning, organisational and IT skills and be able to manage your time effectively. Whenever you communicate with a Resident or co‑worker, you will be truly considerate and kind.

Safeguarding is everyone's responsibility; you must recognise signs of possible 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 undertake additional training in associated areas. You also have the ability to seek appropriate advice, report concerns and, if action is not taken, to escalate.
