About Copelands

Copelands is Belfast Central Mission's flagship project, providing market leading care for Northern Ireland. It encompasses everything needed to create a genuine home from home where residents can enjoy a fulfilling life.
Copelands comprises of six households, each with 10 residents. Each household has its own front door, kitchen and living area as well as access to a communal outdoor area. The home has been designed with the differing cognitive, social, and physical abilities of the residents in mind.
Our aim is to provide the best possible care to frail older people, including those living with dementia. We promote the use of familiar and recognisable surroundings and activities to stimulate residents' memories. Visual clues throughout the design help residents with recollection to avoid confusion and increased anxiety. Additionally, it creates opportunities for staff and residents to interact more easily in activities of daily living.

About the Role

The Activities Assistant will support and assist the Activities Co-ordinator in organising fun activities for residents and support them to actively take part in social activities that interest them. You will play a central role in delivering purposeful activities that stimulate residents and improve their wellbeing. The impact of purposeful activity is important for all residents and particularly for those people living with dementia.
