Cragston Court has an opportunity for an Activity Coordinator to join our team.
Cragston Court Rehabilitation Service is located in Blakelaw, a suburb of Newcastle-upon-Tyne.

What you'll be doing
You’ll be part of a dedicated and compassionate team, all working together to ensure the smooth running of the service and to support the wellbeing of our residents.

Whether you're assisting with day-to-day operations, keeping things organised, or ensuring our spaces are well looked after, your support plays an important part in creating a positive experience for those who live and work here.
