Join Adel Square Care Home and Help Make Every Day Matter

At Adel Square Care Home, part of the St Mary's Care Group, we believe that great care is about more than meeting practical needs. It's about helping people feel valued, connected, and able to enjoy each day to the fullest.

Our beautiful 86-bed home in North Leeds provides residential, dementia, and respite care in a warm and welcoming environment. We understand that wellbeing comes from meaningful relationships, opportunities to stay engaged, and the freedom to continue doing the things that bring joy and purpose to life.

That's why we're looking for a caring, enthusiastic, and creative Wellbeing Lead to join our team. This is a rewarding role for someone who loves bringing people together, creating memorable experiences, and making a genuine difference to the lives of older people.

If you're passionate about helping others live well and want to be part of a team where kindness, dignity, and compassion are at the heart of everything we do, we'd love to hear from you.

Working closely with residents, families, and colleagues, you'll ensure every individual has opportunities to remain active, connected, and involved in meaningful experiences that reflect their interests, hobbies, and life stories.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Planning and delivering a diverse programme of meaningful activities tailored to individual interests and abilities.

• Working alongside care colleagues to support residents' overall wellbeing and quality of life.
• Developing links with local groups, schools, volunteers, and community organisations.
• Maintaining accurate records and evaluating activities to ensure they remain meaningful and person-centred.
