St. Camillus Nursing Centre is a charity dedicated to supporting older people. We aspire to a society where all older people are treated with respect and have the opportunity to live fulfilled lives.
Our care home provides high-quality residential, nursing, and dementia care. We believe no older person should be lonely and should have opportunities to engage with other residents and all available activities.
Main Purpose of Role
To lead and encourage residents to join in meaningful activities whilst maintaining their independence, choice, and dignity, enabling them to lead as full and active a life as possible.
To create a stimulating and varied programme of leisure activities and social events, inside and outside of the nursing home, for residents to enjoy. To work with each new resident to understand their likes/dislikes, abilities, and interests.
To explore new opportunities with groups or individuals that will enhance the residents' lives through social and mental stimulation.
Key Objectives
1. To consult with each resident in order to identify their social and recreational requirements according to their likes/dislikes, abilities, and personal preferences.
2. To ensure that all residents receive some form of social activity each week and one-to-one time, particularly those that do not wish to participate in group activities. This should include opportunities within the home and the wider community.
3. To formulate and maintain a stimulating programme of activities for groups of residents and individuals whilst considering residents' particular likes and dislikes as appropriate. To produce a weekly programme of activities and social events and ensure it is advertised within the home and communicated to all residents.
4. To liaise with relatives and staff regarding special individual requirements, such as birthdays and anniversaries, cultural and religious festivals and celebrations, and to be aware of the religious calendar that may affect activity pursuits, relevant to the ethnic mix of residents.
5. To support any volunteers in their role and ensure they receive appropriate induction, supervision, and support.
6. To promote and enhance the existence of the home in the community and encourage the use of communal spaces within the home for groups to meet and hold events.
