Make Every Day Special for Our Residents

Love chatting? Love making a real difference to someone’s day?

We’re looking for a warm, creative, and enthusiastic Activity Coordinator to join our care home team. This is a rewarding role where you’ll play a big part in making each day enjoyable, meaningful, and fulfilling for our residents.

What You’ll Be Doing

  • Creating a varied calendar of activities that reflects our residents’ interests – from arts and crafts to quizzes, gardening, music, gentle exercise, and special events.

  • Supporting residents on minibus trips which can involve personal care.

  • Supporting residents one-to-one as well as in group settings, making sure everyone feels included and valued.

  • Building strong relationships with residents, their families, and friends to really understand what brings them joy.

  • Bringing the local community into the home by arranging visits, outings, and special guests.

  • Working closely with the care team so activities are a natural part of daily life.

  • Completing administration tasks to ensure our record keeping is kept up to date.

  • Working with the team to create visuals for our marketing team of all the amazing work the team does.

About You

  • Friendly, approachable, patient and bursting with enthusiasm.

  • A good communicator who enjoys chatting and listening to people’s stories.

  • Creative with plenty of ideas for fun, stimulating activities.

  • Organised and confident at planning events and encouraging others to get involved.

  • Strong IT skills

  • Above all, someone who genuinely cares about making a difference to our residents

  • Bonus points if you have any hidden talents! Musical instruments? Theatrical talents?

About Us

We’re an award-winning, family-owned, independent care home group, with an outstanding reputation within the industry thanks to our amazing people and our focus on keeping the resident at the heart of everything we do.

We challenge the stereotype of a care home, that’s why all 21 of our nursing homes are rated at least good and seven outstanding by the CQC, our national regulator.

For the 10th year running, we’ve been named as one of carehome.co.uk Top 20 Care Home Groups in the UK, by the residents and their families who have first-hand experience of the care and support being given at our care homes.
