Engagement Lead

Nightingale Hammerson is an independent charity and a leading specialist in the care of older people. We have served the Jewish community since 1840. We have two care homes, Nightingale House in Clapham and Hammerson House in East Finchley.

Nightingale Hammerson offers a warm and comfortable environment, with personalised care that centralises the needs of the residents, with on-site therapists, dieticians, and a wealth of activities for residents to enjoy.

The engagement department at Nightinagle House is responsible for the activities and social opportunities that keep our residents stimulated and create a sense of community. Taking a person centred approach we oversee a vibrant and varied programme of activities (from big groups to one to one engagement) in order to respond to the needs of the individuals within our care. Nightingale Hammerson is an innovative organisation and we are always looking at ways to develop what engagement in a care home can be.

We are currently looking to expand our team with a new engagement lead. This role would be primarily responsible for overseeing activities for a residential household within the home and responding to the engagement needs of the residents there while collaborating with the wider engagement team to deliver shared activities across the home.

This is a job of tremendous variety that would suit a caring, creative individual who has the energy, people skills and logistical know-how to bring their ideas to life.

Experience of working in care is not a necessity and we would welcome candidates with a range of people-facing experience and those with creative backgrounds. Experience of supporting people with dementia or other neurological conditions would be desirable.
