Help older people feel connected, valued and full of life

We believe that later life should be rich with friendships, new experiences and a sense of belonging.

But for too many older people, loneliness gets in the way.

That is where you come in.

As a Community Coordinator with MHA Communities, you will help create spaces where older people can connect, laugh, share and thrive.

You will bring activities to life, organise events that matter, and build bridges that turn isolation into community.

If you are passionate about making a real difference in your local area, you will find a rewarding and purposeful career here.
