About The Role
Location: Brize Meadow Lodge, Miles Drive, Brize Norton, Carterton, Oxfordshire OX18 1NZ
Please note that this is a part-time role working 17.5 hours per week.
In your role as an Activities Co-ordinator at HC-One, kindness will be at the core of everything you do.
Every single person who works here understands that our Residents are people just like them with their own stories to tell. By joining HC-One you'll have a wonderful opportunity to give something back to those people.
As an Activities Co-ordinator at Brize Meadow Lodge, you will plan and implement activities that will delight our Residents. You will also help the Home Manager to organise essential fundraising events. Whether you're giving our Residents the confidence to socialise more effectively, working on a new activity idea based on Residents' hobbies, or getting the rest of the care home team involved, you'll do so with a sense of kindness above all else.
HC-One is looking for someone with a background working with vulnerable individuals, ideally developing activity programmes. Beyond that, it's all about your brilliant, positive energy and natural ability to get along with people. You'll have great planning, organisational and IT skills and be able to manage your time effectively. Whenever you communicate with a Resident or co-worker, you'll be truly considerate and kind.
Safeguarding is everyone's responsibility, and therefore it is important that you can recognise the signs which may indicate possible abuse, harm or neglect in its different forms and know what to do if there are any concerns. All colleagues are required to attend safeguarding training appropriate to their role and undertake additional training in associated areas. You also have the ability to seek appropriate advice and report concerns, including escalation if action is not taken.
About HC-One At HC-One, kindness is more than a word. It is a belief that caring for people means caring about what matters most to them so we can support them to lead their best possible life.
To provide the kindest possible care, there are 5 values or qualities that everyone who is part of the HC-One team shows up with, supports and coaches in each other every single day. We call these 5 qualities Kindness the HC-One Way: We are curious and ask questions, look for clues and seek to understand. We are compassionate and try to walk in the shoes of others. We're creative yet practical, using our imagination to make things happen. We are courageous in how we support residents to live the life they want, and we can always be counted on.
We champion inclusivity, fostering a workplace where everyone feels valued and can be themselves. Our diverse and inclusive workforce allows us to learn from each other and better represent the communities we serve.
Our dedicated, professional colleagues strive to always deliver outstanding care – and we care about our talented teams too, supporting them in their professional and personal growth. We are committed to developing people that work for us through robust career pathways, CPD and postgraduate programmes. Throughout your career, HC-One will invest in you with great opportunities to progress into regional and national roles.
