Are you passionate about the wellbeing of older people? Do you have a flair for creativity and an energy to make a difference in people’s lives? Are you flexible, yet determined in your approach to enhancing the lives of older people? Are you able to work ‘in the moment’ and pick up on the subtle communication clues of people living with dementia? If so, we would like to hear from you!
As the Team Leader, you will: support residents to be occupied, stimulated, and engaged by ensuring that the home delivers a range of meaningful mental and physical activities that reflect their life histories, interests, and preferences.
Key Responsibilities:
1. Support each resident to enjoy the highest possible quality of life, surrounded by love, friendship, and support within a Christian environment.
2. Motivate, guide, support, and direct care home staff in the home activity provision, under the direction of the Head of Care and in partnership with Team Leaders.
3. Ensure that all staff are aware of residents’ current level of physical, cognitive, and psychological ability, which will result in the provision of personally meaningful activities that will most engage residents and promote their wellbeing.
4. Plan, organise, promote, provide appropriate resourcing, and ensure the delivery of a weekly (7 days) programme of meaningful activities. In partnership with care staff, maintain full and accurate records of activities in order to monitor, record, and evaluate individual and group participation and success.
