Activities are vital to the health and wellbeing of our residents and you will work with the head of activities and other members of the team to organise a varied programme of meaningful activities inside the home as well as trips out to places of interest. These can be group activities in the lounge or garden, or sessions on a 1:1 basis with individual residents.
You will need to be warm and supportive, able to encourage and motivate others and build positive relationships with residents. It is important for you to know residents’ likes and dislikes so that activities can be as person centred as possible. You must also be creative and a good organiser, have excellent oral and written communication skills, be proficient in systems and IT
You will need to be flexible according to the needs of the business and will need to work your contracted hours across the week on a rota basis.
You will need to liaise with outside organisations to arrange for singers, musicians, art and craft specialists and friendly animals or to come safely into the home. Another key duty is to take photos of activities and events to send to the residents’ families and the marketing team for posting on the home’s website, Facebook page and other social media outlets.
