Activities Coordinator - Part Time in Hampshire

Inspire Neurocare places the people we support at the heart of our service, and our main aim is to empower recovery and restore lives by providing life-changing neurorehabilitation and specialist care for people living with complex neurological conditions, brain and spinal injuries, strokes, early onset dementia, and progressive neurological conditions. We are looking for a creative, compassionate Activities Coordinator to help our residents rediscover purpose, confidence, and fulfilment.

As our Activities Coordinator, you will play a vital part in enhancing the wellbeing and quality of life of individuals recovering from or living with neurological conditions. Working closely with our multi-disciplinary teams, you will design and deliver a varied programme of therapeutic, recreational, and social activities that inspire engagement, build confidence, and support rehabilitation goals. Activities Coordinators are committed to ensuring our residents get the most out of life through vibrant lifestyle activities. They are outgoing, energetic, and passionate about making a difference; your attitude, ideas, and can-do personality will shape how our residents spend their days.

We offer our colleagues:

• Competitive salary and benefits package
• 28 days holiday (inclusive of Bank Holidays)
• Workplace pension
• A supportive and collaborative working environment
• Opportunities for professional development and training
• Free onsite parking available
• Employee Assistance Programme, occupational health support, and wellbeing services

Your Daily Impact:

We are passionate about creating fun and meaningful activities that bring joy, purpose, and connection to not only the people we support but for every single member of the teams in the services, whatever their interests or abilities. One day you might be organising a live music afternoon, a nature walk in the local park, or a themed movie night complete with homemade popcorn. The next you could be running a baking session, starting a gardening club, or helping our residents express themselves through art, storytelling, or music. These moments of creativity and connection are what makes life at Inspire Neurocare so special!

Key Responsibilities:

• Creating and leading meaningful group and individual activities that celebrate each resident's strengths, spark engagement, and support their personal journey of recovery and wellbeing.
• Working collaboratively with the Therapy, Care, and Nursing teams to ensure activities support each resident's rehabilitation journey.
• Leading on developing partnerships within the community and supporting residents to explore new experiences and engage with local activities that enrich their lives.
• Inspiring and encouraging resident participation and celebrating achievements, no matter how big or small, to help build resident confidence, self-esteem, and a sense of personal accomplishment.
• Leading and inspiring colleagues across all departments to embrace a positive and creative living environment.
• Building strong relationships with residents, their families, and colleagues to create a positive, inclusive environment.
• Sourcing meaningful resources and planning community-based experiences that reflect residents' interests and aspirations.

Your Knowledge and Expertise:

At Inspire Neurocare, we have a culture where passion, empathy, and commitment are key. While experience is valued, we place a higher emphasis on your personal attributes and dedication to our vision and values. With comprehensive training and induction, we equip you for excellence in your role, whether you're an experienced professional or new to the field.

You must have a warm and compassionate personality to build trusting and meaningful relationships with residents, their families, and colleagues. You must also be highly organised, managing multiple activities and projects simultaneously. Through your infectious energy and passion, you should spark participation and excitement among residents and colleagues both on-site and in the wider community.

Experience with planning, coordinating, and delivering group and one-to-one activities, understanding risk assessments, following health and safety procedures, and promoting key safeguarding principles is essential. Awareness of mental health and its impact on functioning is also important. Previous experience of working with individuals with complex needs within healthcare, rehabilitation, or social care is preferred, though we welcome applications from those with transferable skills.
