The role

Are you the kind of person who brings sunshine into a room, remembers everyone's favourite biscuit, and believes wellbeing should be woven into every single day? We're looking for a vibrant, big-hearted Wellbeing Coordinator who's ready to make a real difference - not just with activities, but with moments that matter.

In this dynamic role, you'll be the driving force behind a culture of joy, connection, and compassion. You'll design and deliver meaningful wellbeing experiences that get people smiling, moving, reminiscing, and thriving. As a Dementia Ambassador, you'll also be a powerful voice for understanding, inclusion, and dignity - helping everyone feel seen, heard, and valued.

You'll champion the B Happie Framework, turning its principles into lived, everyday magic. Think laughter-filled sessions, calming spaces, confidence-boosting interactions, and creative ways to support mind, body, and soul. No two days will look the same - and that's exactly how you like it.

As a Wellbeing Coordinator you will

  • Work with the Home Manager, Head of Dementia & Lead Happieness Ambassador to engage with and fully implement Advinia's Happieness & Wellbeing programme and embed the whole home approach to activities.

  • Support the Community Engagement Framework alongside the wider team to build community links and promote community events such as Intergenerational sessions, Coffee Mornings, Open Days and Cultural Celebrations.

  • Develop, manage and coordinate a regular, varied calendar of group activities, in collaboration with the Residents, that are person-centred and meaningful to help maintain hobbies and interests and meet holistic needs.

  • Plan individualised 1:1 Sessions for Residents as appropriate and engage with ongoing life story work to help inform the activity programme and person-centred care planning.

  • Manage the activity budget in conjunction with the Home Manager to ensure the provision of resources, outings and entertainment and undertake fundraising opportunities to supplement as appropriate.

  • Maximise the use of resources that are available to support with provision of meaningful engagement opportunities. Ensure risk assessments are completed for all activities and outings and reviewed as appropriate.

  • Offer Signposting to family members to Admiral Nurse services, Local carer groups, tide, Alzheimer's Society etc

  • Maintain stock of Dementia Publications

  • Assist Home Manager in Completing Dementia Environment Audit

  • Be responsible for making community links with dementia charities/ organisations

  • Be aware of latest best practice and new initiatives by way of attending monthly Wellbeing Forums and liaising with Head of Dementia and Lead Happieness Ambassador.

  • GCSE or equivalent in Maths & English

  • Confidence using technology

  • Experience of Dementia - either personal or professional

  • Energetic, compassionate, and full of creative ideas

  • A natural people-person who can light up a room

  • Passionate about wellbeing, inclusion, and person-centred care

  • Confident leading activities - from lively group sessions to calm one-to-one time

  • Organised enough to make the magic happen consistently

In short: If you believe happiness is serious business, that small moments can make a big impact, and that everyone deserves to feel they belong, this role has your name written all over it.
