About The Role
***The Applewood - NEW RESIDENTIAL HOME OPENING 2025***
Please note that this is a part-time role working 10am - 3pm, 17.5 hours per week 3 on and 3 off shifts.
In your role as an Activities Coordinator at HC-One, Kindness will be at the core of everything you do. It touches upon every aspect of our Dementia, Nursing, Residential and Specialist care homes. By joining HC-One you’ll have a wonderful opportunity to give something back to those people.
As an Activities Coordinator, you will plan and implement activities that will delight our Residents. You will also help the Home Manager to organise essential fundraising events. Whether you’re giving our Residents the confidence to socialise more effectively, working on a new activity idea based on Residents’ hobbies, or getting the rest of the care home team involved, you’ll do so with a sense of kindness above all else.
HC-One is looking for someone with a background working with vulnerable individuals, ideally developing activity programmes. Beyond that, it’s all about your brilliant, positive energy and natural ability to get along with people. You’ll have great planning, organisational and IT skills and be able to manage your time effectively. Whenever you communicate with a Resident or co-worker, you’ll be truly considerate and kind.
Safeguarding is everyone’s responsibility; therefore, it is important that you are able to recognise the signs which may indicate possible abuse, harm or neglect in its different forms and know what to do if there are any concerns. All colleagues are required to attend safeguarding training appropriate to their role and to undertake additional training in associated areas. You also have the ability to seek appropriate advice and report concerns, including escalation if action is not taken.
We’ll provide full training, so it’s a great opportunity to learn something new. In return, you will enjoy access to a variety of benefits and services to support your physical and psychological well-being. Throughout your career as an Activities Coordinator, we will invest in you, and you will enjoy additional support and benefits including:
