Wellbeing Lead for an independent brand-new Care Home in Surrey
Are you a creative, energetic and compassionate individual who believes later life should be full of joy, connection and purpose? We're looking for an experienced Wellbeing Lead to help launch a brand-new purpose built 32-bedroom home in Godalming, Surrey. A home where every resident is valued, and given the chance to live life to the full.
You'll have real ownership of how our residents spend their days: leading the planning and delivery of meaningful activities and wellbeing programmes that enhance residents' physical, emotional, cognitive and social wellbeing. You will play a key role in supporting the transition of our existing residents into the new home, helping them feel safe, engaged and at home from the first day.

- Design and delivering a varied programme of daily, weekly and monthly meaningful activities tailored to individual interests, abilities and needs
- Plan and develop themed events, seasonal celebrations and special occasions, including decorating the home and liaising with the catering department
- Coordinate our therapy room — supporting residents with hair, nails and pamper sessions that promote confidence and self-care
- Build strong relationships with families and the local community
- Organise and risk assess outings and trips such as shopping, cafes, garden centres and community events
- Lead and supervise a small activities team, including rotas, observations and day-to-day coordination
- Maintain accurate records of activities, participation and resident feedback
- Evaluate and audit the effectiveness of activities and continuously improve the programme
- Effectively manage the activity equipment and financial resources
What we're looking for
- A compassionate, proactive, energetic and creative person with genuine enthusiasm for improving the quality of life for older people
- Strong communication and organisational skills and the confidence to plan and deliver engaging events
- Experience in leading activities coordination or wellbeing in a care home or similar environment
- Some experience of supervising or leading a small team, or a clear readiness to do so
- Knowledge of dementia care, awareness of safeguarding and professional boundaries
- A flexible, solution-focused, can-do attitude
- Basic IT skills for planning and documentation
