Activities & Wellbeing Manager
Location: Fairmile Grange Care Home, Christchurch, Dorset.
Salary: £15.18 per hour

Creating Moments That Matter Every Day
We're looking for an enthusiastic, dynamic and people-focused Activities & Wellbeing Manager to lead our dedicated Activities Team and help shape an outstanding resident experience.
This Is a Fantastic Opportunity For Either
- An experienced Activity Coordinator ready to take the next step into management, or
- A Senior Carer or Care Team Leader looking to diversify their career within the care home sector.
As our Activities & Wellbeing Manager, you'll lead a team of 4-5 colleagues who deliver engaging activities, meaningful wellbeing programmes and community events that enrich the lives of all our residents.
Importantly, you'll ensure that every resident is included – from those who enjoy a busy social calendar to those who may be more isolated, living with dementia, or require a more personalised approach to engagement.
What You'll Be Doing
