The Live at Home Community Programme Coordinator is responsible for coordinating and running a programme of activities.
We are a small, dynamic and friendly team looking for someone who shares our passion and drive to improve the lives of older people living in Gateshead. Ideally they will have previous experience working with older people in a work or voluntary capacity.
This post will cover rural areas in the West of Gateshead therefore the successful candidate must have their own transport.
We are particularly looking for someone who is friendly, approachable, and has a willingness to learn. Strong organisational and IT skills are a must; the ability to prepare and cook meals for up to 30 people would be an advantage.
This is a very rewarding role that offers the opportunity to make a positive difference to the lives of many older people.
The Community Programme Coordinator will work closely with a variety of internal and external stakeholders and so good communication is as important as having strong organisation skills.
