Barnard Castle, United Kingdom Care UK Residential Care Services Full time

If you have a passion for helping others to get the most out of life and some experience gained in a similar role, joining Care UK as a Lifestyle Coordinator may be the right move for you.

A rewarding career that comes with great training, you'll have a real opportunity to develop in our fast paced, expanding business.


Being a Lifestyle Coordinator at Care UK:

Lifestyle Coordinators at Care UK have the ability to understand residents' needs and go the extra mile to support them to live a fulfilling life.

They enjoy sharing ideas with others and strive to find ways to improve residents' quality of life.

With a formidable 'can-do' approach to their work, lots of initiative and team player skills, they're keen to continuously learn and improve too.

Do you have the same sort of attributes?

What you'll be doing:

Being a Lifestyle Coordinator is about creating, organising and communicating a varied programme of activities for residents.

It's also about empowering each resident individually, assisting them with their ability to participate and enabling them to achieve their goals.

You'll do this by spending quality time with residents and their families in order to gain a full understanding of their interests and aspirations.

Meaningful activity is the result and the responsibility of all colleagues input, so you'll work closely with the team to involve everyone in the home and make this successful.

Put simply, it's about making a difference. A real difference.

What you'll need:

Some relevant experience is essential, as is the ability to compile social care plans for residents and maintain confidentiality. We'll also be looking for excellent interpersonal skills and a flair for prioritising a busy workload. Someone who's able to retain information and carry out instructions accurately, keeping accurate written records is important too.

Above all, you have a natural ability to help make the lives of others more enjoyable and want to work in an environment where the work can be challenging, but also fun, fullfilling and rewarding.
