The Activities Coordinator role is typically provided Monday to Friday between 8:30-16:30.

It is essential to have an interest in delivering a range of social and recreational activities, including exercise and wellbeing activities, such as cooking, gardening, music, creative activities, games and reminiscence.

The acute wards can be rewarding and challenging environments, due to our patient's clinical needs, so previous experience of working with people who experience emotional difficulties is beneficial (i.e. dementia, trauma, mental ill health, neurodiversity).
