This is more than an administrative role - it's your chance to shape the future of care and retirement living. As Innovation Coordinator, you'll be at the heart of St Monica Trust's mission to improve lives through bold, practical innovation.

Why This Role Matters

Innovation at St Monica Trust doesn't sit in a corner - it lives across our care homes, retirement communities and services. We test new ideas with real people, run hands-on pilots, and listen to feedback that leads to meaningful change. Your role will be central to making this happen - by keeping things organised, informed and moving.

What You'll Be Doing

• Plan and coordinate workshops, meetings and innovation events across our care and retirement communities
• Set up spaces and digital platforms so sessions run smoothly and participants feel welcome

• Streamline team operations by maintaining calendars, organising files, and sharing updates
• Foster a positive, inclusive culture that encourages participation and collaboration
  

What You'll Get In Return

Joining St Monica Trust means becoming part of a values-led organisation where people are at the heart of everything we do. Aside from a competitive salary, you'll also benefit from:

• A generous holiday entitlement
• Access to a supportive wellbeing programme and Employee Assistance Scheme
• Ongoing training and development opportunities to help you grow
• A chance to make a real difference in the lives of older people
• A friendly, inclusive team culture where collaboration and innovation are celebrated
