Activities Coordinator

at  Elysium Healthcare

Being an Activities Coordinator is so much more than just organising programmes. It’s providing care and support to some of the most vulnerable people in society.
Working 37.5 hours, includes one shift every other weekend, you will join the team at Wellesley Hospital where you will create an activity-based culture, which will see you use technical and creative skills to assist in developing, delivering and coordinating programmes focused on social, recreational and leisure activities.
You will be responsible for creating 1-1 and group rapports with service users to help evolve and shape the activities to increase engagement. As you plan and implement activities around their interests, this should also have a strong emphasis on their individual needs to support the treatment plans.
Working alongside the multidisciplinary team, you will develop links with community-based resources to support service users to engage in local activities.
At Elysium, we want the best for you. That’s why you will have continuous access to a range of training courses to enable you to reach your career goals. After all, a better you means better care. That’s what delivering great healthcare should feel like.
