At Hestia, we are guided by our core values and are dedicated to fostering an equitable, diverse, and inclusive organisation. Right now, we are looking for a Tutor & Activities Coordinator to play a pivotal role in our Age Activity Service in Wandsworth.
The service offers a wide range of activities including IT classes, wellbeing sessions, social events and occasional day trips, all designed to reduce isolation, promote community, and help older people maintain their health and independence for as long as possible. Alongside this, the AAC plays a key role in fostering friendships, building confidence and creating a welcoming space where older people can thrive.
It involves leading and overseeing adult learning classes, supporting volunteer and pool worker recruitment, and managing essential resources and administrative tasks. The postholder will help ensure high-quality, engaging sessions while maintaining an organised, inclusive environment that empowers older people and enhances their overall wellbeing.
The hours are 9am - 5.18pm Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday and 12pm - 8.18pm on Thursday.
You have experience supporting people with mental health needs and complex circumstances, as well as working with older adults, senior adults or other vulnerable groups. You communicate clearly and professionally, both verbally and in writing, and you can accurately receive, process and record detailed information while maintaining confidentiality. You are IT-literate, comfortable using Microsoft Office and able to learn new systems or apps.
We are committed to creating and maintaining a diverse and inclusive workforce and value the skills, abilities, talent and experiences different people and communities bring to our organisation.
Hestia is proud to be a disability confident employer, dedicated to the employment and career development of individuals with disabilities.

Hestia is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of adults, children and young people who are potentially at risk, and we therefore expect all staff and volunteers to do the same. We require all staff to undertake internal and external safeguarding training throughout their employment with Hestia.
We encourage interested candidates to apply as soon as possible to ensure their application is considered.
