Join Highgate Care – Where Kindness Is Key

At Highgate Care, kindness isn’t just something we talk about, it’s the foundation of everything we do. As a small and compassionate care group, we pride ourselves on offering truly person‑centred care, where every resident is valued, supported, and able to thrive. We believe in celebrating individuality, promoting dignity and above all, living by our core value: Kindness Is Key.

We’re currently looking for an Activities Coordinator to join the team at The Grange. If you’re someone who naturally brings warmth, energy and creativity wherever you go, and you love the idea of making each day meaningful for our residents, this could be the perfect role for you.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Planning and delivering engaging activities tailored to individual interests and abilities
• Creating a warm, inclusive, and social environment for all
• Supporting residents in maintaining existing hobbies and discovering new ones
• Organising social events, seasonal celebrations, and community involvement
• Coordinating outings and excursions to promote wellbeing and variety
• Working closely with care staff and families to support holistic wellbeing
• Recording participation and feedback to ensure meaningful engagement

What We’re Looking For

• Warm, approachable, and brimming with positivity
• Organised, reliable, and confident in planning events
• Creative, enthusiastic, and able to motivate others
• Passionate about improving the lives of older people
• Able to work flexibly across some evenings and weekends
• Previous experience in a care or activity setting is a bonus, but we’re just as interested in your personality and values

What We Offer

• A friendly, supportive, and welcoming workplace
• Real opportunities for ongoing training and career progression
• A chance to make a meaningful impact in people’s lives every day
• A valued role within a close‑knit team that cares as much about each other as we do our residents

If you believe that kindness and compassion should be at the heart of care, we’d love to hear from you. Apply now and be part of our team at The Grange that makes each day brighter for our residents.
