Activities Co-Ordinator

We have an exciting opportunity for an Activities Co-Ordinator to work at our Raeden Court Care Home in Aberdeen.

This new role is responsible for leading on the development of an activities programme for Blackwood's customers and you'll work closely with our care management and volunteering teams in achieving this goal.

Our purpose is to help people live independently, with innovative services and products which mean they can choose how they wish to live their life to the full, regardless of age and disability. As a result, we look for our Activities Co-ordinator to work collaboratively with customers and their families, ensuring all activities are person-centred, celebrate diversity and promote inclusion for all customers.

This role will provide an excellent personal growth opportunity in the planning, co-ordinating and delivery of activities within a care home environment, with all delivered activities and events being safe, in line with customers' needs and choices, and complementing our high-quality services.
