If you are passionate about caring for the elderly and want to build a long-term career in one of our award-winning homes, then look no further than Akari Care. Our aim is to create an environment where our residents are valued, respected, and are offered the personalised care they deserve.
We now seek an Activities Coordinator who is enthusiastic about, and thrives on, making a real and positive difference to the lives of older people.
Working in collaboration with the Home Manager and the wider community teams, you will be responsible for helping and engaging residents to socialise within the home. This includes providing a variety of activities that cater for all tastes, abilities, and cultures, while respecting everyone as an individual and ensuring that you promote diversity and inclusion at all stages. You will plan and initiate rolling/individual programmes, encouraging residents to maintain pre-existing hobbies and to try other activities. By supporting and actively encouraging colleagues, relatives, and friends to participate in activities with residents, you will enable additional stimulation and promote socialising to help enrich our residents' lives. Through willingly accompanying residents to offsite activities, you will go above and beyond for them.
In actively assisting with innovative fundraising initiatives and budgeting for entertainment, materials, and outings, you will enjoy thinking creatively about ways to raise additional funds to support our residents' activities. You will help to ensure that you and your colleagues create a supportive, caring, and kind environment and undertake all duties in a way that provides a secure and safe atmosphere where our residents are valued, respected, and can lead full lives.
