ABOUT THE ROLE
Our homes are vibrant, joyful communities, and an important part of creating such a happy atmosphere is the wide range of stimulating activities and entertainment we provide for our residents. As an Activities Coordinator, you’ll be responsible for creating and delivering an ongoing programme of activities and events which engage residents, promote their independence, and are tailored to meet their individual needs.
Many of our residents are living with various age-related conditions but still strive to lead a full and active life. You’ll get to know them, find out what they love to do, or perhaps used to love to do, and find ways of creating new memories with them.
In joining us, you’ll also become part of our extended family. You’ll work alongside other team members who are passionate about providing care, warmth, and kindness to all those who live and work in our homes.
Madley Park House is a warm and welcoming 'home from home' offering round-the-clock residential, early-stage dementia, and respite care with amenities including a hair salon and residents' shop. Situated in a quiet location in the thriving market town of Witney, the home has strong links to the local community.
AND IN RETURN
The Trust is a great place to work; we’ve been providing care for almost 1 year, and we’re currently the second-largest not-for-profit provider in the UK. Not-for-profit means that we reinvest every penny we make into our residents, colleagues, and the care homes we operate. We offer a great range of benefits, including a competitive salary, training, and development opportunities.
Here are some of the benefits you’ll enjoy:
* 28 days holiday (including Bank Holidays)
* Free uniform
* Free DBS
* Higher rates of pay at weekends
* Access to our Employee Assistance Programme
* Refer a Friend scheme rewarding you up to £ for every successful recommendation
* Blue Light Card and “My Rewards” programme, offering discounts on shopping, days out, restaurants, and more
ABOUT YOU
You’ll either be experienced in creating, organising, and delivering events and activities or have worked with elderly people in a residential setting. Either way, you’ll be confident engaging with our residents to understand what they love to do, whether in groups or on a one-to-one basis.
You’ll be comfortable engaging with the local community, bringing people in to enhance your activities programme as necessary, to ensure our residents get the added stimulation of life outside of the home. You’ll also encourage team members, relatives, and friends to participate in the activities and events you organise.
