We’re looking for a passionate and creative Living Well Programme Coordinator to lead, develop and deliver a person-centred programme of activities across our three care homes at the Betty Asher Loftus Centre.

You’ll oversee a team of dedicated Living Well professionals, working collaboratively with residents, staff, families, and community partners to design and deliver innovative, engaging and therapeutic programmes that promote wellbeing, independence and joy.

This is a rewarding and varied role that combines leadership, creativity, and community engagement — helping to make Jewish Care’s BALC campus a hub of connection, culture and fulfilment.

This post is working 35 hours per week, Monday- Friday with occasional Sundays for special events, which can be taken as time in lieu and is on a 12 month fixed term contract initially.

• Manage the day-to-day delivery of activities and wellbeing programmes across the BALC homes.
• Lead, support and develop the Living Well Team, ensuring high standards of care and engagement.
• Design and implement diverse, inclusive activity programmes — including outings, cultural events and exercise sessions — that meet residents’ physical, emotional and social needs.
• Collaborate with residents, families and care teams to ensure a person-centred approach for all individuals.
• Build strong relationships with community organisations, arts groups and wellbeing practitioners to enhance our offer.
• Work closely with Dementia Practitioners to embed best practice in dementia care.
• Manage budgets, resources and volunteers effectively, ensuring safe, high-quality delivery.
• Evaluate programme outcomes and contribute to organisational reporting and digital care plans.

You’ll bring a combination of creativity, compassion and coordination skills — with the ability to lead a team and inspire those around you.

• Minimum 2 years’ project management experience in a community or care setting.
• Experience working with older people, including those living with dementia or physical disabilities.
• Proven experience in designing and delivering social or wellbeing programmes.
• Strong IT skills (Microsoft Office, digital tools and technology for engagement).
• Excellent communication and organisational skills.
• A commitment to person-centred care and Jewish Care’s values.

• Membership of NAPA (National Activity Providers Association).
• QCF Level 2 in Health & Social Care or equivalent.
• First Aid at Work certificate (or willingness to train).
