This is an amazing role for someone who is looking to really make a difference to someone’s life and to help them grow in confidence and independence so that they meet their goals, have fun and enjoy experiences like no other.
We’re interested in our Activity Coordinators having both the right experience and the right values. This is why at this service our Activity Coordinators should hold a full UK driving license, be resilient, flexible and composed in their approach, be creative by nature with a focus on customer service.
