Activity Co-ordinator
Location: Langford View, Bicester, Oxfordshire
Pay Rate: £13.19 per hour
Contracted Hours: 37.5 hours per week
Shift Pattern: Monday - Friday 08:30-16:30
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.
You’ll also become part of our extended family, working alongside other team members who are passionate about providing care, warmth and kindness to all those who live and work in our homes. At Langford View we offer specialist and high-quality residential, nursing, early-stage dementia and respite care for up to 60 residents in a calm, friendly and comfortable surroundings.
Responsibilities
* Create and deliver an ongoing programme of activities and events tailored to residents’ individual needs.
* Engage residents to promote independence and well-being.
* Get to know residents and discover what they love to do, or used to love to do, to build meaningful memories.
* Engage with the local community to enhance the activities programme and provide additional stimulation.
* Encourage participation from team members, relatives and friends in activities and events.
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. You’ll be confident in engaging with our residents to understand what they love to do, as a group or one-to-one, and comfortable in engaging with the local community to bring people in to enhance the activities programme as necessary, to ensure residents receive added stimulation outside of the home.
You’ll also encourage team members, relatives and friends to participate in the activities and events you organise. If you think you have the right skills and attitude we’re looking for as an activities coordinator within our care homes, then you could be the next to join us. Apply early as we reserve the right to close this role before the closing date with no advance notice.
