Job Summary
?? Activities Coordinator – Bring Fun, Friendship & Memories to Life!
?? MSS Care LTD – Pine Lodge
?? Make every day a little brighter!
Are you someone who loves bringing people together, creating smiles and turning ordinary days into memorable ones?
Do you have a natural flair for coming up with fun ideas, getting people involved and making everyone feel included?
If so, we’d love to hear from you! ??
?? About Us
At MSS Care LTD, we believe that life in a care home should be about so much more than care.
It’s about friendship, laughter, music, memories, celebrations, hobbies, outings and making the most of every single day.
At Pine Lodge, we are passionate about creating a warm, welcoming and engaging home where our residents feel valued, listened to and, most importantly, at home.
We support people with a range of needs, including those living with dementia, and we want our activities to be meaningful, inclusive and tailored to the people who live here.
?? The Role
We are looking for an enthusiastic, creative and energetic Activities Coordinator to join our friendly team and become the person who helps bring a little extra sparkle to life at Pine Lodge!
This is a role where no two days need to be the same.
One day you could be organising a quiz or baking afternoon, the next you might be taking residents out for lunch, arranging a garden-centre trip, hosting a themed party, putting on some music or simply sitting down with someone for a cuppa and a chat.
We want someone who isn't afraid to think outside the box!
?? What You’ll Be Doing
- ?? Creating a varied and exciting programme of activities based around our residents, not just a timetable
- ?? Organising music, quizzes, games, crafts, baking, reminiscence sessions and themed events
- ?? Helping organise trips, outings and opportunities to enjoy the local community
- ?? Celebrating birthdays, special occasions and seasonal events
- ?? Encouraging residents to socialise, make friends and try something new
- ?? Creating meaningful one-to-one activities for residents who may prefer quieter activities
- ?? Supporting mental stimulation, independence and confidence
- ?? Working closely with care staff and families to discover what residents enjoy and what makes them smile
- ?? Keeping simple and accurate records of activities and participation
- ??? Ensuring activities are safe, appropriate and accessible for everyone
- ?? Most importantly — bringing your own ideas, personality and creativity to the role!
? Who Are We Looking For?
We aren't necessarily looking for someone with a long list of qualifications.
We're looking for the right person.
Someone who:
- ?? Has a naturally positive and friendly personality
- ?? Is full of ideas and isn't afraid to try something different
- ?? Genuinely enjoys spending time with older people
- ??? Is confident communicating with residents, relatives and colleagues
- ?? Loves organising events and creating memorable experiences
- ?? Can adapt activities to suit different abilities, interests and personalities
- ?? Works well as part of a team but is also confident working independently
- ?? Understands that sometimes the smallest things can make the biggest difference
Previous experience in activities, hospitality, events, entertainment or a similar role would be an advantage — but personality, enthusiasm and the desire to make a difference are just as important.
?? Why Join Us?
At Pine Lodge, you'll have the opportunity to make a real difference every single day.
You won't simply be filling a timetable.
You'll be creating moments that residents remember.
You'll be the person who gets everyone singing along to their favourite song, brings out the competitive side during quiz time, helps someone rediscover an old hobby or simply puts a smile on someone's face.
That is what makes this role so special. ??
We want our Activities Coordinator to have the freedom to be creative, develop new ideas and help shape an activity programme that reflects the people who call Pine Lodge home.
?? Ready to Make a Difference?
If you're energetic, creative, caring and think you could bring fun, laughter and a little bit of magic to our residents' days, we'd love to hear from you!
Come and join the Pine Lodge team and help us make every day count. ????
