Job Description

As Community Co-ordinator, you’ll be the driving force behind our community engagement, events programming, and resident experience. You’ll support new residents in settling in, create and deliver an engaging activities calendar, and foster strong relationships within the village and wider local community. Your work will empower residents to remain independent, connected, and involved. This is a full time role working 37.5 hours per week over 5 days out of 7 - due to the nature of some events, availability to work weekends and occasional evenings is required.

Key Responsibilities

  • Lead a varied, inclusive program of activities and events aligned with resident interests and wellbeing

  • Promote and encourage resident engagement through tailored communication and relationship-building
  • Act as a key point of contact for residents, families, and community stakeholders
  • Collaborate with the wider village management team to uphold exceptional service standards
  • Collaborate and support the Marketing and Sales teams, using local knowledge to enhance engagement with sales prospects, and co-hosting sales events
  • Build strong connections with commercial and local partners, volunteers, and service providers
  • Highlight the community facilities by welcoming community groups to use spaces available within the village, and organising events, workshops, and information to raise awareness of Integrated Retirement Communities
  • Continually evaluate and improve event outcomes and community services

What We’re Looking For

  • 3+ years' experience delivering excellent customer service or community engagement
  • A passion for people and building meaningful relationships
  • Strong communication and organisational skills
  • Resilience, empathy, and a positive proactive mindset
  • Ability to manage events, volunteers, and external stakeholders
  • Comfortable working both independently and as part of a team
  • Willingness to work flexibly, including occasional evenings or weekends
  • DBS check required
  • Emergency First Aid at Work qualification (training can be provided)

About Retirement Villages Group Ltd

Our mission:

The UK’s population is ageing, fast, but the country cannot currently cope with the rising demand for active, independent later living. Too many people are therefore forced to live in inappropriate housing or move into care far too soon.

As a pioneer of later living in the UK we recognise the need. We have set out to create amazing, sustainable communities, connected to thriving local centres, breathing new life into urban and suburban neighbourhoods and country locations.

“Our mission is to create positive life choices for older people - built on community, wellbeing, and flexibility. We strive to support people to live their best lives for longer, while ensuring the planet, and our healthcare system, offer the same opportunities to future generations.“

Our story:

We have been a developer and long-term operator of housing-with-care communities since 1981. We built the first community of its kind in the UK at Elmbridge in Cranleigh, Surrey and today we operate 16 sites across the country with over 1500 self-contained homes.

In 2017, Retirement Villages Group was acquired by AXA IM Alts - Real Assets – a global leader in real asset investments and the leading real estate portfolio and asset manager in Europe – on behalf of their clients to provide long-term, sustainable investment in retirement living.

Supported by AXA IM Alts we have ambitious plans to deliver over 5,000 new homes across over 40 new sites in the next ten years making appropriate housing more accessible to a wider group of older people.
