About The Role
In your role as an Activities Co-ordinator at HC-One, Barleystone Kindness will be at the core of everything you do. It touches upon every aspect of our Dementia, Nursing, Residential and Specialist care homes. By joining HC-One you’ll have a wonderful opportunity to give something back to those people.
As an Activities Co-ordinator it will mean planning and implementing the kinds of activities that will delight our Residents. You will also help the Home Manager to organise essential fundraising events. Whether you’re helping Residents socialise more effectively, developing activity ideas based on Residents’ hobbies, or getting the care home team involved, you’ll do so with a sense of kindness above all else.
HC-One are looking for someone with a background working with vulnerable individuals, ideally developing activity programmes. Beyond that it’s about your positive energy and natural ability to get along with people. You’ll have great planning, organisational and IT skills and be able to manage your time effectively. When communicating with Residents or co-workers, you’ll be truly considerate and kind.
Safeguarding is everyone’s responsibility. You should recognise signs that may indicate possible abuse, harm or neglect in its different forms and know what to do if there are any concerns. All colleagues are required to attend safeguarding training appropriate to their role and to undertake additional training in associated areas. You also have the ability to seek appropriate advice and report concerns, including escalation if action is not taken.
