We make health happen
Here at Bupa, we support those when they need it the most. Our care homes are dedicated to delivering person-centred care, supporting independence, and honouring choice to help our residents live their best lives.
An activities coordinator in our care home is like the chief fun officer. They create a vibrant, joy-filled atmosphere for our residents. They dream up exciting events and hobbies that residents will love, such as arts and crafts, baking, book clubs, and even pub quizzes.
They work closely with our residents and care teams to create tailored activity plans. Whether it’s gentle chair-based exercise or a garden party, they’ve got it covered! Coordinators bring people together for laughter, camaraderie, and shared experiences. Activities aren’t just fun; they’re also therapeutic, boosting residents’ spirits and well-being.

* Organising birthday surprises for our residents.

* Organising one-to-ones with our residents, which might involve reminiscing tools, puzzles, reading, or just a cup of tea and a chat.
* Supporting the home with their social media channels as required.
