The Vacancy
We are excited to be internally recruiting an Activities Coordinator to join our residential service at Webb House, where we support people to live extraordinary, ordinary lives.
At Webb House, we support up to nineteen adults with learning disabilities and acquired brain injuries (ABI) to live lives that are meaningful, fulfilling, and led by their own choices. Each person is unique, with their own goals, interests, and aspirations—and this role is all about bringing those to life.
Our home provides a range of spaces that create opportunities for everyday living and shared experiences, including a welcoming communal area, sensory and music space, gym, kitchen for cooking and baking, and creative arts areas.
We also have beautiful outdoor spaces, with balconies and a large garden—ideal for relaxing, socialising, and developing practical skills like gardening.
This year, we’re excited to begin growing our own vegetables, creating opportunities for people to connect with nature and enjoy the rewards of their efforts.
Unfortunately we are unable to offer sponsorship for this role.
About the Role
- 30 hours per week
- £12.75 per hour during the week, £14.02 at the weekend.

You will work alongside the people we support to develop opportunities that reflect what matters to them, including:
- Building confidence with reading and writing
- Exploring books and creating meaningful access to learning
- Developing money management and budgeting skills
- Supporting people to use these skills in real-life situations within their community
Everything you do will be guided by the voices, choices, and ambitions of the people we support—helping turn everyday moments into meaningful achievements.

Testimonials
“It’s hard to put into words what has motivated me to stay at FitzRoy for 50 years. I love working with the people we support, it really is all down to them. The connection you make with them and the difference you are making is the real delight of the job.”
“You don’t become a support worker unless you want to help people and make a difference to someone’s life. That’s what made me want to do this job – I have always been a caring person and I wanted to help give people with learning disabilities a voice.”
“FitzRoy is such an incredible place to work, everyone really cares about the people we support. I am genuinely passionate about improving their quality of life, and when you see the people we support achieving a goal I feel immense job satisfaction.”
