Job description
At Hestia, we are guided by our core values and are dedicated to fostering an equitable, diverse, and inclusive organisation. Our mission is to empower individuals to rebuild their lives and achieve independence. Right now, we are looking for a Tutor & Activities Coordinator to play a pivotal role in our Age Activity Service in Wandsworth.
Sounds great, what will I be doing?
Hestia's Age Activity Centre (AAC) is a lively, open‑access day centre supporting Wandsworth residents aged 60 and over to stay active, independent and socially connected. The service offers a wide range of activities including IT classes, wellbeing sessions, social events and occasional day trips, all designed to reduce isolation, promote community, and help older people maintain their health and independence for as long as possible. Alongside this, the AAC plays a key role in fostering friendships, building confidence and creating a welcoming space where older people can thrive.
This role supports both the AAC and the Hestia Recovery Café, contributing to the smooth running of daily learning and development activities. It involves leading and overseeing adult learning classes, supporting volunteer and pool worker recruitment, and managing essential resources and administrative tasks. The postholder will help ensure high‑quality, engaging sessions while maintaining an organised, inclusive environment that empowers older people and enhances their overall wellbeing.
The hours are 9am - 5.18pm Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday and 12pm - 8.18pm on Thursday.
What do I need to bring with me?
You'll need to be able to demonstrate the core skills this role requires as well as match our values and mission. You don't have to tick all the boxes right away; the important thing is that you're willing to learn. We also value lived experience of the areas we support, so if you feel comfortable, please do mention this on your application.
You have experience supporting people with mental health needs and complex circumstances, as well as working with older adults, senior adults or other vulnerable groups. You understand how to identify and report safeguarding concerns, recognise signs and symptoms of mental health issues, and respond appropriately within professional boundaries. You are confident facilitating learning and development activities, group work or support groups, and you are able to engage with individuals who may display a range of emotions or behaviours that can sometimes feel challenging.
You communicate clearly and professionally, both verbally and in writing, and you can accurately receive, process and record detailed information while maintaining confidentiality. You are IT‑literate, comfortable using Microsoft Office and able to learn new systems or apps. You bring strong time‑management skills, attention to detail, and the ability to work both independently and as part of a team. You liaise confidently with colleagues and external partners, represent Hestia positively, take a solution‑focused approach to problem‑solving, and can identify and report any health and safety concerns within a day‑centre environment.
