Spark Joy. Stir Memories. Bring Life to Each Day.
You know how powerful a moment of joy can be. A song from the past. A game that brings laughter. A quiet craft session where someone who’s withdrawn suddenly lights up.
That’s what this role is all about. As our Activities Co-ordinator, you’ll help create days that are more than just routine - you’ll create moments that matter.
You’ll be working with people who’ve lived incredible lives. Your job? Helping them keep living in the truest sense - engaged, entertained, included, and valued.
What you'll be doing:
- Planning and leading a range of meaningful, special events, inclusive activities: from music, art, and games to gentle exercise and themed events.
- Taking time to understand each resident’s story, interests, and abilities - and building activities that bring them to life.
- Encouraging involvement at all levels, including residents who are more reserved or living with dementia.
- Creating opportunities for fun, connection, creativity and companionship - every single day.
- Supporting visits, entertainers, community involvement and special celebrations.
- Supporting people to external healthcare appointments
- Welcome new people, visitors and families into the home
Who you are:
- Warm, creative and full of ideas - with a real passion for working with older people.
- Organised, enthusiastic and confident in bringing people together.
- A great communicator who can encourage participation without pressure.
- Someone who understands that even small moments - a singalong, a shared memory, a burst of laughter - can make a big difference.
- Experience in a care setting or activity planning is helpful - but heart, energy and empathy matter most.
What we offer:
- A truly rewarding role where you’ll see the impact of your work every day
- Fully paid training and plenty of career progression opportunities
- Induction programme with a dedicated mentor to help you feel supported and comfortable in your new role
- Free DBS check and auto-enrolment pension

- Freedom to bring your creativity, personality and warmth to your role
This isn’t just a job. It’s a chance to light up someone’s day - and be part of a team that puts people at the heart of everything.
If you believe that every person, no matter their age or ability, deserves joy, purpose and connection - we’d love to hear from you.
