Create Moments That Matter Every Single Day


Are you creative, caring and passionate about bringing joy to others?


At Crystal Care Collection, we believe that exceptional care goes beyond meeting physical needs. It's about helping every resident continue to enjoy the hobbies, interests and experiences that make life meaningful.


We're looking for an enthusiastic Activities Assistant / Lifestyle Assistant to help deliver engaging activities and memorable experiences that enrich the lives of our residents and make every day something to look forward to.


About the Role


As an Activities Assistant, you'll spend time getting to know our residents, learning about their life stories, interests and aspirations so you can help create personalised activities that promote wellbeing, independence and social connection.


Whether you're organising a craft session, supporting a community outing, celebrating a special occasion or simply sharing a conversation over a cup of tea, your role will have a lasting impact on residents' happiness and quality of life.


Working alongside the Lifestyle Manager and wider team, you'll help create a vibrant programme of activities that reflects the unique personalities and preferences of everyone who lives in our home.


Key Responsibilities



  • Support the planning and delivery of meaningful group and one-to-one activities tailored to residents' interests, abilities and life experiences.


Build relationships with residents by learning about their hobbies, preferences and personal histories.


Develop and maintain links with local schools, charities, churches and community organisations to enhance the activity programme.


Help organise visits from entertainers, performers and external providers.


Support larger events and resource-intensive activities to ensure residents can participate safely and enjoyably.


Encourage colleagues to engage residents in meaningful interactions throughout the day and promote a whole-home approach to activities.


Record activities and outcomes accurately on PCS, ensuring care plans and activity programmes remain up to date.


Champion the My Life Story and Resident of the Day initiatives by maintaining accurate social information and encouraging personalised care.


Gather photographs and stories for newsletters, noticeboards and social media, ensuring appropriate consent has been obtained.


Promote a resident-led culture by sharing residents' preferences and life experiences with the wider team.


Be flexible to support occasional evening activities and special events when required.

Has excellent communication and organisational skills.

Is proactive, adaptable and full of ideas for meaningful engagement.


Previous experience in activities, care or customer-facing roles is desirable but not essential, as full training will be provided.



Working Pattern



  • 10:00am 4:00pm


Permanent rolling rota of three consecutive shifts on followed by three consecutive shifts off


Average 21 hours per week


Flexibility to support occasional evening activities and events where required.



Pay
