Richmond Villages Letcombe Regis provides luxury retirement living with personalized care that promotes independence and honors individual choice, allowing our residents to live their best lives.

As an Activity Co-ordinator, you’ll help us make a difference to our residents, ensuring they get the mental and physical stimulation that they need to remain healthy, fulfilled, and happy.
We tailor our residents' activities plan, so one day you could be helping put on musical acts or days out, the next you could be putting on exercise classes, hosting an arts and crafts afternoon, or maybe something completely different (organising birthday surprises for our residents is always a favorite). Join us as an Activity Co-ordinator and let your creativity and enthusiasm flourish.
You’ll help us make health happen by:
* Identifying engaging activities for our residents through careful assessment, observation, and conversation.
* Connecting with residents, their families, friends, and colleagues to gain a deep understanding of each resident's interests, abilities, and challenges.
* Supporting the Head of Activities in orchestrating special events like garden parties, concerts, and excursions.
* Aiding residents in personal tasks such as letter writing, shopping, and reading, and encouraging them to engage in their individual hobbies.
* Regularly refreshing and promoting the activities program within the village and the local community.
Key Skills / Qualifications needed for this role:
Previous experience organizing events would be advantageous, especially if you have experience working with the elderly and/or vulnerable. Your positive attitude and energetic, humorous nature are key to inspiring residents. With empathy and friendliness, you effortlessly forge enduring professional relationships with colleagues, residents, their families, and the local community.
Benefits:
* My Healthcare - Quick, easy access to support, advice, and treatment for a variety of health-related issues, including remote GP, physiotherapy, and mental health support – all available from one phone number 24/7.
* Annual allowance which you can redeem against a menu of Bupa healthcare products, all to the approximate value of £350.
* Free meal with every shift.
* 28 days holiday.
* Long Service - For every milestone at Bupa, we will reward you with ecards, extra holidays, and money!
* Interest-free annual travel loan to enable the purchase of public transport annual season tickets.
* Wagestream - Have early access up to 40% of your earned wages within minutes.
* Competitive Pension plans and Parental leave options as well as access to unique products such as our Menopause plan.
* My Bupa Extras - discounts at your favorite retailers, plus a huge range of tools, content, and information to support you with your wellbeing.
* We offer a sick pay scheme to our frontline teams, as an addition to statutory sick pay, to help provide some reassurance and financial support during longer absences.
