You will need to be able to demonstrate that you have experience of supporting and encouraging individuals in their daily activities whilst ensuring that care, respect and dignity are shown at all times. This will be achieved through a varied and diverse range of activities that you would be planning and facilitating alongside other staff members, and no two days are ever the same at Echo.
You will be supporting clients to manage and improve their self-esteem and empower them to become more engaged and confident in their everyday life, through activities such as exercise, singing, art and craft, quizzes, gardening etc. You will need to have patience, humour and like being part of a lively, energetic team. The centre is a dynamic and vibrant place that offers the opportunity for you to be creative and innovative.
