Full job description

Purpose of the role

The Activity Coordinator makes sure that the people who live in our home have days worth getting up for. The role is to find out what matters to each resident, then build a programme of activity, occupation and social contact around that — for groups, for individuals, and for those who cannot or do not wish to leave their room.

This is a care role, not an entertainment one. Meaningful occupation reduces distress, supports wellbeing and independence, and is a direct requirement of Regulation 9 (person-centred care) and Regulation 10 (dignity and respect).

Key responsibilities

Planning and delivering activity

Run a varied, year-round programme of social, recreational, physical, creative and sensory activity that reflects the interests and abilities of the people living in the home.
Publish a written weekly programme, display it clearly in communal areas and in a format residents can read and understand, and share it with families.
Deliver both group sessions and one-to-one time, with protected one-to-one time for residents who are cared for in bed, are nearing the end of life, or choose not to join group activity.
Plan around the rhythm of the day — including evenings, weekends and the periods when distress and restlessness are most common.
Mark birthdays, anniversaries, religious and cultural festivals, and national events that matter to the people living here.

Knowing the person

Complete a social and occupational assessment with every new resident, and with their family where the person wishes, capturing life history, work, relationships, faith, routines, likes and dislikes.
Write a social care plan for each resident within three weeks of admission, and review it at least monthly or sooner if the person’s needs, mood or abilities change.
Record participation, response and refusal accurately in the care record, including what did not work and why.
Use life-story work and reminiscence to support people living with dementia, and adapt activity to changing cognition, sensory loss and physical ability rather than withdrawing it.

Families, community and faith

Build and maintain links with local schools, faith groups, charities, entertainers, volunteers and community organisations, and encourage them into the home.
Organise outings and trips beyond the home, including the risk assessment, transport, staffing and consent arrangements that go with them.
Make sure residents’ spiritual, religious and cultural needs are identified and met, including access to worship and to visiting faith leaders.
Welcome relatives and friends into the life of the home and support them to stay involved, including residents’ and relatives’ meetings.
Contribute content and photographs for the home’s noticeboards, newsletter and social media, with valid consent in place before anything is published.

Working with the team

Hand over to the senior on duty each day and flag any concern about a resident’s mood, behaviour, physical health or engagement.
Coach and support care staff to deliver short activity and meaningful interaction during their own shifts, so occupation is not limited to the hours the Activity Coordinator is on duty.
Support residents at mealtimes, making sure the right equipment is to hand and the dining experience is unhurried and sociable.
Maintain a well-organised stock of resources — craft materials, games, puzzles, music, books, gardening and sensory equipment — within the agreed budget.

Quality and governance

Evaluate the programme regularly against resident feedback, participation levels and wellbeing outcomes, and change what is not working.
Contribute to satisfaction surveys, provider visits, quality audits and CQC inspection evidence.
Keep clear, contemporaneous, factual records in line with the home’s recording standards.

Pay: £13.00 per hour

Work Location: In person
