- Training and Development: Full training and ongoing development opportunities are provided to support your professional growth within the care sector.
As an Activities Coordinator, you will organise and deliver a varied programme of meaningful activities that support residents’ physical, emotional, and social wellbeing.

You will play an important role in helping residents maintain independence, build social connections, and continue enjoying the hobbies and interests that are meaningful to them.
- Planning and delivering daily activities and events that are stimulating and enjoyable for residents.
- Organising group activities, entertainment, and seasonal events within the home.

Patience, empathy, and understanding when working with older people, including those living with dementia, are essential. Previous experience in activities coordination or working in a care environment is desirable but not essential, as training will be provided. Experience in a care home or similar environment is desirable. Reliable, flexible, and committed to high standards. Good written and verbal English communication skills are required.
In return for your dedication, we offer a competitive salary and a range of benefits, including:
- Free training and development opportunities
- Wellbeing and employee support resources
- Employee of the Month recognition
