Activities Co-ordinator

13.92 per hour.

40 hours per week - alternate weekends.

Welwyn Grange is a brand new care home , set within the heart of the community in Welwyn Garden City. We will be bringing a fresher approach to residential, nursing and support.

Are you looking for a new challenge and want to be an integral part of our service and our residents lives? If you can bring happiness, comfort, fun, compassion and empathy into a room with just a smile then we would love to hear from you!

We are looking for someone who is not afraid to show their enthusiasm by joining in and by being wholeheartedly involved in interesting and varied activities, which have been tailored by you - and chosen by our residents.

You will need to have a genuine talent, and possibly experience (although this is not essential) for creating personalised activities that truly engage and ensure the social and physical needs of our residents are met.

Your activities will need to provide stimulation and exercise, and promote and encourage independence amongst our residents. You will not be afraid to step outside of the box, but will maintain professionalism and the highest possible care standards at all times.

The role will involve liaising closely with residents, their relatives and friends, and staff, and will also include the requirement to develop links within the local community, therefore strong communication skills are essential, with the ability to pitch communication at a range of different levels.

If this sounds like the role for you or would like more information we would love to hear from you.

Working with us will give you a rewarding, challenging, diverse and exciting career, where no day is the same.

This role is subject to an enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check for regulated activity.

At Ardale we don't just accept difference, we welcome it. No matter what your sexual orientation, ethnicity, disability, gender identity, religion or any other characteristic, we welcome your application. As a team we actively celebrate, support and thrive on diversity for the benefit of our residents and staff, and we believe this creates an environment of empowerment and mutual respect and therefore excellence in care.
