Overview
Inspire Neurocare places the people we support at the heart of our service, and our main aim is to empower recovery and restore lives by providing life changing neurorehabilitation and specialist care for people living with complex neurological conditions, brain and spinal injuries, strokes, early onset dementia and progressive neurological conditions.
We are looking for a creative, compassionate Activities Coordinator to help our residents rediscover purpose, confidence and fulfilment.

Activities Coordinators are committed to ensuring our residents get the most out of life through vibrant lifestyle activities. They are outgoing, energetic and passionate about making a difference; your attitude, ideas and can‑do personality will shape how our residents spend their days.
We offer our colleagues

Your Daily Impact
We are passionate about creating fun and meaningful activities that bring joy, purpose and connection to not only the people we support but for every single member of the teams in the services whatever their interests or abilities.
One day you might be organising a live music afternoon, a nature walk in the local park, or a themed movie night complete with homemade popcorn. The next you could be running a baking session, starting a gardening club or helping our residents express themselves through art, storytelling or music. These moments of creativity and connection are what makes life at Inspire Neurocare so special!
Key Responsibilities
- Creating, and leading meaningful group and individual activities that celebrate each resident’s strengths, spark engagement, and support their personal journey of recovery and wellbeing. You will also get to know our residents and find out what makes them happy as individuals.
- Working collaboratively with the Therapy, Care and Nursing teams to ensure activities support each resident’s rehabilitation journey. You will also lead on developing partnerships within the community and support residents to explore new experiences and engage with local activities that enrich their lives.
- Inspiring and encouraging resident participation and celebrating achievements, no matter how big or small to help build resident confidence, self‑esteem, and a sense of personal accomplishment.
- Leading and inspiring colleagues across all departments to embrace a positive and creative living environment. You will encourage everyone to care for their own wellbeing, celebrate one another’s efforts, and feel valued as part of a supportive, forward‑thinking service, dedicated to improving their lives.
- Building strong relationships with residents, their families and colleagues to create a positive, inclusive environment. You will learn about residents’ hobbies and interests and work with colleagues and families to ensure residents can keep doing what they love.
- Sourcing meaningful resources and planning community‑based experiences that reflect residents’ interests and aspirations, while nurturing links with local groups and venues to ensure each activity promotes inclusion, confidence and personal growth.
Your Knowledge and Expertise
At Inspire Neurocare we have a culture where passion, empathy and commitment are key. While experience is valued, we place a higher emphasis on your personal attributes and dedication to our vision and values. With comprehensive training and induction, we equip you for excellence in your role, whether you are an experienced professional or new to the field.
You must have a warm and compassionate personality – you will need to have these qualities to be able to build trusting and meaningful relationships with residents, their families and colleagues.
You must also be highly organised – you will be managing multiple activities and projects simultaneously so you will need to be able to get things done and make things happen! Meanwhile, through your infectious energy and passion you should be sparking participation and excitement among residents and colleagues both on‑site and in the wider community.
Experience with planning, coordinating, and delivering group and one‑to‑one activities with an understanding of carrying out risk assessments, following health and safety procedures and promoting the key safeguarding principles. You should also have an awareness of mental health and its impact on functioning.
Previous experience working with individuals with complex needs within healthcare, rehabilitation or social care is preferred, though we welcome applications from those with transferable skills.
