Job Description
We’re looking for a special person who truly believes in bringing joy and sunshine into our residents’ lives every day.
With a genuine passion for the older generation, we’re seeking someone who is sociable, creative, fun-loving and above all well-organised. Caring for our residents is at the heart of our business but looking after someone’s wellbeing in their next chapter of life goes much further than watching TV and a game of Bingo! Driven by our Activities Team, you are the difference to ensuring that our residents’ days are filled with fun, variety, and stimulation.
Being able to build a rapport with our residents and getting to know their preferences is key to being able to make this role a success, as well as being inclusive of their individual preferences and care needs which range from low-level support through to dementia and nursing.
Experience of working in a care home is not a pre-requisite - we are simply looking for someone who sparkles and who enjoys having fun whilst making a real difference to our fabulous residents.
What You’ll Do
- Plan and Organize: Create and manage monthly rolling programmes as well as individual activities, encouraging residents to stay active and maintain their hobbies.
- Foster Social Connections: Help residents socialize and enjoy their time in the care home through diverse activities that cater to all preferences.
- Keep Accurate Records: Maintain detailed documentation of daily activities.
What You’ll Bring
- Event Planning Skills: Proven ability to develop and organize a range of engaging events and activities.
- Creativity and Confidence: A friendly, creative, and confident personality that shines through in your work.
- Passion for Elderly Care: A genuine interest in working with the elderly, helping them live life to the fullest.
- Communication and Teamwork: Strong communication and organizational skills with the ability to work well both independently and as part of a team.
Our care home is part of Care Concern Group; a market leading, family-owned care group operating close to 80 homes across the UK. We are passionate about creating fantastic care homes for our residents to live in and a supportive and fun environment for our team to work in.
Ready to bring smiles and joy to our residents? Apply today to become our next Activities Coordinator!
