About The Role
We make health happen
At Bupa, we support those during their most vulnerable moments. Our care homes are dedicated to delivering person-centred care, promoting independence, and respecting individual choices to help residents live fulfilling lives.

- Arts and crafts
- Baking
- Book clubs
- Pub quizzes
The role involves creating tailored activity plans that cater to every resident, whether it's gentle exercise or a garden party. Coordinators foster community, laughter, and shared connections while ensuring activities are both enjoyable and therapeutic, from meditation to wellbeing classes.

- Supporting the home’s social media channels as required.
