Creating moments that matter, every day.

About Us:

Cwrt Enfys is part of a small family of care homes across South Wales. Our ethos is to provide quality care, ensuring that privacy, dignity, and choice for our residents are at the heart of everything we do.

Silvercrest, activities are not an "extra" - they are central to wellbeing, identity and quality of life. We believe every resident deserves meaningful days shaped by choice, relationships and joy.

We are looking for an enthusiastic, compassionate Activities Assistant to support our Activities Coordinator in delivering a varied, inclusive and person-centred programme that reflects who our residents are - not just where they live.
