Relief Activities Co-ordinator

at  CrossReach

Are you passionate about creating moments that matter?
We’re looking for an enthusiastic and creative Relief Activities Coordinator to join our team and bring joy, stimulation, and engagement to the lives of the people we support. This flexible role is all about planning and delivering meaningful activities that enhance the mental and physical well-being of our service users, stepping in when needed to support the team.
Your days will be varied and rewarding. You’ll be organising group activities, planning outings, and tailoring one-to-one sessions that match the interests and abilities of each individual. Whether it’s a lively indoor event or a relaxing day trip, you’ll make a real difference by adding fun, connection, and purpose to daily life.
As this is a relief position, you’ll have the flexibility to work hours that suit you while helping us deliver high-quality care. This could include covering shifts during weekdays, evenings, or weekends as required.
We’re looking for someone who’s self-motivated, organised, and brimming with enthusiasm. You don’t need to have all the answerswhat matters is your creativity, compassion, and willingness to learn. Experience in a similar role is great but not essential; we provide training, including support to achieve an SVQ 3 in Social Care if you don’t already have one.
We are a values-driven organisation, so respecting our Christian ethos is central to this role. We welcome applicants of all backgrounds who are comfortable working within this framework.
In return, you’ll join a supportive and friendly team, gain valuable experience, and have the chance to make a positive impact in the lives of others every day.
If you’re ready to make a real difference, we’d love to hear from you.

As we do our work in Christ’s name you must be respectful of our Christian Ethos and be able to work within it.
