Helping others improve and turn their lives around – there’s no better feeling. It’s what we do for thousands of people at more than 150 sites across the UK. Be a part of it.
We are looking for an Activity Coordinator to join our team at Cygnet Pindar House.
You’ll be working 40 hours a week (Monday to Friday 8am – 4pm or 9am – 5pm with every other weekend), making a positive difference to the lives of the people in our care at Cygnet Pindar House.
Cygnet Pindar House is our 22‑bed neuropsychiatric care and treatment service for men affected by acquired brain injuries. It is a safe and secure place to aid recovery and offers those diagnosed with a progressive neurological disease like Huntington’s Disease a caring, longer‑term placement to support and manage the progression of their symptoms.
The service is a modern purpose‑built facility designed specifically to provide a clinically‑led, evidence‑based neuropsychiatric pathway for individuals presenting with behaviours that challenge. Our focus is on creating a therapeutic, rich environment to engage the men in our care and to maximise their independence.
Our in‑house Neuropsychiatry interdisciplinary team can support those with complex physical health needs, and we have bedrooms on the ground floor for men with mobility impairments.
Our person‑centred approach puts the individual at the centre of their care and discharge planning. The service offers a wide range of activities and facilities to promote independent function and positive behaviour goals, focusing on discharge planning to support service users to return to community living – either with support or independently.
CQC rating GOOD.
