We are the largest care provider in Cornwall. We are a not-for-profit organisation and a registered charity, giving practical assistance for all types of care.

"We believe in going above and beyond offering high-quality care, going that extra mile to improve lives every day."

As an Activities Coordinator for Cornwall Care, you’ll be working in our Cedar Grange home within a team of likeminded individuals who all genuinely care about those people whose homes you are working in.

Sat high on a hill, with its far-reaching views Cedar Grange possibly takes the title for our most spectacular setting. But the appeal doesn’t end there; with a reputation to match, it’s known for being a wonderful place to work.

With 60 beds split across different specialist units, this is our largest nursing home. Here we support residents with varying needs, including mixed levels of dementia through to challenging behaviour. Our team is built on dedication and kindness; qualities which we truly value - if those are your own values, you’ll be a great fit.

What You’ll Do
  • Listen to our residents, meet with family members talk with the home care staff to gain knowledge about a resident’s individual life story, experiences and interests.
  • Plan and organise cost effective and stimulating activities for residents to include for example music, art, crafts and exercise programs.
  • Plan and organise outings for residents
  • Develop strong links with the local community to fund raise for the home activities and events.
  • Assist resident’s at meal times and with general care needs as required.
What You’ll Need
  • Excellent interpersonal and communication skills.
  • Great planning and organisational skills.
  • IT literate
  • Sensitivity and awareness of dementia, dependency, depression and people at risk of falls.
  • Good standard of literacy and numeracy (GCSE B or equivalent)
  • Full Clean Driving Licence.
What You’ll Receive

You’ll have access to free 24 hour counselling and legal advice services, shopping discounts with high street retailers and local supplier and discounted gym memberships.

If you’re looking for a career with Cornwall Care, there are very real opportunities to progress with us. Being a large organisation means a huge variety of other roles, right across the county.
