Pay rate: £12.40 per hour

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. Cherry Garth care home is a welcoming and modern home, tucked away in the heart of the Holmer Green community, and with easy access to High Wycombe. It provides 60 fully furnished individual rooms, positioned across four separate wings, each with its own bright, modern and sociable communal areas including lounges, dining areas and kitchenettes.
Responsibilities
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. You\'ll get to know residents, understand what they love to do as a group or on a one-to-one basis, and find ways of creating new memories with them. You\'ll work to engage with the local community to bring people in to enhance the activities programme and ensure residents receive the added stimulation of life outside the home. You\'ll also encourage team members, relatives and friends to participate in the activities and events you organise.
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 in engaging with our residents to understand what they love to do and to involve them as a group or individually. You\'ll be comfortable engaging with the local community and bringing people in to enhance your activities programme as necessary, to ensure our residents get the added stimulation of life outside of the home. If you think you have the right skills and attitude we\'re looking for as an activities coordinator within our care homes, you could be the next to join us.
