How You'll Make a Difference
As a Dementia Activity Coordinator, you will lead a varied programme of activities that enable people living with dementia to remain active, engaged, and socially connected in a safe and supported environment.
Cambrian Green Dementia Day Service, owned and operated by South Gloucestershire Council, provides high-quality day support for people living with dementia. The service offers a welcoming and stimulating setting where individuals can socialise, build confidence and quality of life. With facilities designed to support a range of needs and abilities, Cambrian Green helps people stay connected to their community while providing valuable support to their families and carers.
What You Will Be Doing
It will be your responsibility to plan and coordinate a diverse programme of activities that provide meaningful occupation, enjoyment, and social opportunities for service users.
To ensure high-quality services are delivered throughout the day, you will oversee the running of activities, coordinating, supporting, and leading staff teams to provide an engaging and person-centred service.
Using your expertise, you will develop a good understanding of service users' strengths, preferences, and support needs, working collaboratively with health professionals, volunteers, and community partners to help people achieve positive outcomes.
You will maintain accurate records, including support plans and risk assessments, ensuring information is recorded clearly and reviewed regularly to support effective and safe service delivery.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
A key aspect of your role will be assessing, monitoring, and reviewing care plans, implementing changes where required to ensure services continue to meet the needs of those attending the centre.
What We Need From You
We require you to hold a vocational qualification in social care, such as a QCF, NVQ Level 3, or equivalent qualification.
It is essential that you have considerable experience of working in a similar service area with service users who have complex needs linked to dementia, including those with complex needs and challenging behaviour.
You will have a good understanding of relevant legislation, regulations, and best practice, including safeguarding, the Mental Capacity Act, Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards (DoLS), and the Essential Standards of Quality and Safety.
Supporting the team, you will provide day-to-day guidance and leadership to staff, ensuring activities are delivered safely, effectively, and in line with service users' needs.
What You Need To Know
Please note that due to the nature of this role, it is a requirement of employment that an enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check is obtained for this post.
Interviews are likely to be held week commencing 19th October.
