Summary
Join a team that feels like family.
Joy, connection and daily purpose
We’re looking for someone with energy, ideas and a love of people to work at our care home.
As a VITAL Activities Coordinator, you’ll help make daily life more meaningful for our residents. Whether it’s music, crafts, gardening, conversation or something completely new — you’ll plan activities that bring joy, comfort and connection. You’ll also support fundraising events and help bring our homes together around shared ideas and values.
If you’re creative, confident and kind, this could be a role where you really shine.
**Why You’ll Love Working Here**
This role is all about people — and you’ll be surrounded by a team who care deeply.
A chance to build real bonds with residents
Room to bring your ideas and personality to work
Support from managers who trust you to lead your day
Extra training to help you grow and feel confident
Flexible hours that fit around home life
Take paid breaks and get a free uniform throughout your time here
Access to the Vivup Employee Assistance Programme (EAP) for confidential wellbeing support
Discounted ferry travel to make commuting easier and more affordable
Leisure membership discounts to support your health and wellbeing
Free snacks and drinks available while on shift
Attendance bonus of an extra 50p per hour when all contracted shifts are worked each month (T&Cs apply)
**What Your Day Could Look Like**
You’ll be busy, active and involved in every part of home life.
Planning and running fun, creative activities for all tastes
Encouraging residents to keep up hobbies and try new things
Helping organise trips out and visits from local groups
Supporting fundraising events across the home
Sitting with residents who need quiet company or one-to-one time
Keeping simple records of what’s happening each day
**What We’d Love You to Bring**
You don’t need care experience — just the right mix of energy, kindness and ideas.
A friendly and confident personality
Great at planning, organising and getting others involved
Able to work well with both teams and residents
Open to working flexible hours (some events may be out of hours)
Creative and willing to try new things
A real interest in working with older people
**What Makes Island Healthcare Different**
We’re a family-run company, and we treat our staff and residents with the same care we’d want for our own families.
For over 20 years, we’ve been part of life on the Island. We’ve built trust by doing the right things, the right way. That’s why many of our team stay for years. They feel respected and proud of the work they do.
Our homes feel like just that — homes. They’re welcoming, well-run, and full of people who care.
So if you want to do real work that matters, with people who truly care — we’d love to hear from you.
