Make Every Day Meaningful – Create Moments That Matter

Do you love connecting with people, bringing smiles to faces and making a real difference to someone's day?

We're looking for a warm, creative and enthusiastic Activities & Engagement Facilitator to join our care home team.

This is a hands-on role where you'll be at the heart of creating and delivering meaningful experiences for our residents. It's not just about organising activities; it's about getting involved, building relationships and understanding what makes each individual happy.

From leading group activities and sharing familiar songs to one-to-one conversations, reminiscence and everyday moments, you'll help residents enjoy life, maintain their interests and feel valued.

What You'll Be Doing

• Planning, leading and actively participating in a varied programme of activities.

• Providing meaningful one-to-one engagement for residents who prefer quieter activities or need additional support.

• Adapting activities and communication to meet the needs and abilities of our residents.

• Using residents' life stories, interests and experiences to create meaningful opportunities for engagement.

• Delivering activities such as music, arts and crafts, gardening, reminiscence, baking and gentle exercise.

• Building positive relationships with residents, families and colleagues.

• Organising special events, entertainers, community visits and outings, including supporting residents on minibus trips.

• Working alongside the care team to make meaningful engagement part of everyday life.

• Maintaining accurate records and capturing photographs and content (with appropriate consent) to celebrate the wonderful things happening in the home.

• Ensuring all administrative tasks are completed within the given timeframes.

About You

• Warm, friendly, patient and approachable.

• Passionate about working with older people and interested in dementia care.

• A great communicator who understands the importance of listening and adapting their approach.

• Creative, enthusiastic and confident getting involved in activities.

• Able to build relationships and recognise what makes each individual happy.

• Organised, proactive and comfortable with basic IT and administration.

• A genuine team player who wants to make a difference.

Previous experience is beneficial, but your personality, attitude and ability to connect with people are what really matter.

Got a Hidden Talent?

Can you sing, play an instrument, tell a great story, paint, dance, garden or bake? We'd love to hear about it!

It's not about filling the day with activities; it's about filling the day with moments that matter.

If you have the heart, creativity and enthusiasm to make a difference, we'd love to hear from you!

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
