Activity Co-ordinator
Organise activities and sessions for people in residential settings, and in the community

Although the role is predominantly based in residential settings, you could also work in an individual’s home or out in the wider community.
As an activity coordinator you will be talking with people about the types of activities they would like to do. You will then develop and provide activities based on the needs and abilities of those taking part.
