About the role
As an Activities Worker, you will deliver a range of appealing and engaging social/recreational activities, providing exciting opportunities for our residents. Organising outings and events, your creative flair and passion to provide variety and choice will really make a difference to the lives of people with a disability that we support.
Duties will include taking residents out on trips, so a driving license is required. Midas training will be provided to enable you to drive the minibus. There will be occasional evening and weekend work to attend theatre, concerts, events, etc., so flexibility is required. There is also the opportunity to pick up overtime to cover any absences in the activities team.
You may be helping to organise a large-scale service social event, finding common interests amongst a smaller group, or trying out everyone’s baking skills. There will certainly be a range of exciting things to get stuck into - creativity is key!
About you
No experience in activity work is required, but an artistic flair, great organisational skills, or an interest in arranging fantastic social activities is a must! A valid UK driving license is required to drive the company minibus to escort residents on social outings.
Previous experience in activities work or working with and supporting people with disabilities would, however, be advantageous.
Your benefits and rewards
As well as competitive pay, we offer a wide range of employee rewards such as Wagestream, the option to withdraw up to 40% of your pay before payday, free Blue Light card with discounts for high street retailers, eating out, and fun family days. There is also a free DBS check, generous annual leave, contributory pension scheme, excellent training programmes relevant to your role, and so much more!
