Activities - Westerton Care Home

Contract: Full Time

Salary: £12.21 Per Hour

Shift Type: Days

Contracted hours: 37.5

Our modern care home provides the highest quality of Residential, Dementia, Nursing & Respite care for 106-residents.

We’re looking for a special person who truly believes in bringing joy and sunshine into our residents’ lives every day.

With a genuine passion for the older generation, we’re seeking someone who is sociable, creative, fun-loving and above all well-organised. Caring for our residents is at the heart of our business but looking after someone’s wellbeing in their next chapter of life goes much further than watching TV and a game of Bingo! Driven by our team of Recreation Coordinators, you are the difference to ensuring that our residents’ days are filled with fun, variety, and stimulation.

Being able to build a rapport with our residents and getting to know their preferences is key to being able to make this role a success, as well as being inclusive of their individual preferences and care needs which range from low-level support through to dementia and nursing.

Experience of working in a care home is not a pre-requisite - we are simply looking for someone who sparkles and who enjoys having fun whilst making a real difference to our fabulous residents.

What You’ll Do

• Plan and Organize: Create and manage monthly rolling programmes as well as individual activities, encouraging residents to stay active and maintain their hobbies.
• Foster Social Connections: Help residents socialize and enjoy their time in the care home through diverse activities that cater to all preferences.
• Keep Accurate Records: Maintain detailed documentation of daily activities.

What You’ll Bring

• Event Planning Skills: Proven ability to develop and organize a range of engaging events and activities.
• Creativity and Confidence: A friendly, creative, and confident personality that shines through in your work.
• Passion for Elderly Care: A genuine interest in working with the elderly, helping them live life to the fullest.
• Communication and Teamwork: Strong communication and organizational skills with the ability to work well both independently and as part of a team.

Our care home is part of Care Concern Group; a market leading, family-owned care group operating close to 80 homes across the UK. We are passionate about creating fantastic care homes for our residents to live in and a supportive and fun environment for our team to work in.
