Lifestyle Lead
Lead Experiences. Inspire People. Make Every Day Matter.
Park View Care Centre is looking for an exceptional Lifestyle Lead to join our ambitious and award-winning team.
This is not simply an activities role.
We are looking for someone who understands that a meaningful and fulfilling life does not stop when someone moves into a care home. Someone who is passionate about creating experiences, building relationships, bringing energy and imagination into everyday life, and ensuring that every resident has opportunities to continue doing the things that matter to them.
Park View is a multi-award-winning care home with high ambitions. We are proud of what we have achieved, but we are not standing still. Our focus is firmly on continuing our journey towards becoming an Outstanding care home, and we are looking for an ambitious and driven individual who wants to be part of that journey.
As our Lifestyle Lead, you will lead and inspire our Lifestyle Team and play a central role in enhancing the lived experience of every resident across Park View.
You will be someone who is driven, focused and outcome-orientated. You will take pride in seeing ideas become reality and will want to be recognised for leading a team that genuinely makes a difference to people's lives.

The Role
As Lifestyle Lead, you will have responsibility for designing, developing and delivering an exceptional lifestyle and activities programme across the home.
You will lead from the front, spending the majority of your working time directly engaging with residents and role-modelling the delivery of meaningful, vibrant and stimulating activities across all areas of the home.
You will understand that one programme does not suit everyone.
Our residents include people living with dementia, residents requiring nursing care, people who are bedbound, and individuals with a wide range of interests, abilities and life experiences. You will therefore ensure that our approach is personalised, inclusive and based on relationship-centred care.
You will lead a team that creates opportunities for residents to experience joy, purpose, connection and achievement every day.
But the role goes beyond activities.
You will be an integral member of the wider Park View team and will play a key role in the design, planning and delivery of events within the home. From major celebrations and community events to smaller moments that bring residents and families together, you will bring creativity, energy and ambition to everything we do.
