Are you passionate about creating meaningful activities that help people develop new skills, build confidence and enjoy greater independence?
Sense has a fantastic opportunity for an Activity Coordinator to join our team at our College in Streatley. This is a permanent position working 37.5 hours per week, Monday to Friday, 8:45am to 4:15pm.
This is a varied and rewarding role where you’ll lead engaging activities across our adult social care provision, supporting people with a range of disabilities to learn, participate and make the most of opportunities both at our Sense Centre and within the local community.

You’ll contribute to the planning, development and implementation of activity sessions, provide varying levels of support with personal care where required, and line manage and supervise a small team of Support Workers.
This could be a great opportunity for someone with experience in adult social care who enjoys being creative, bringing people together and seeing the difference that meaningful activities can make to someone’s confidence, wellbeing and independence.
