It is a warm and family friendly environment, where every resident, team member and visitor receives respect, is greeted and treated with the upmost dignity and receives the warmest of welcomes, every single time.

Duties

As a Team Member, your responsibilities will include:

Alongside your colleagues, assisting in offering residents a varied and engaging programme of activity and entertainment, that stimulates our community and contributes to our residents living their best lives! The programme needs to support all residents regardless of their physical or cognitive challenges. This might mean communicating in different ways with folks such as using pictures or music to form relationships and bonds, or working 1-2-1 with a resident in their room as their mobility wont allow them to join group events in the lounge at this time... Our commitment to 'person centred care for all', means that you will work with your colleagues to ensure that every resident regardless of their needs, challenges or presentation can benefit from the programme, and can be 'reached' in one way or another... Play your part in suggesting programme content, events and pastimes that we should try, using your creativity, imagination and initiative to enhance our existing offer, and take it to new levels. Supporting our Community Relationship Manager by helping to organise and attending occasional events in the wider Kent community, (fayres, fetes, galas etc) and by welcoming families and the community into our home (fayres, fetes, music events, coffee mornings and cafes etc) Providing companionship and emotional support to residents, their families and loved ones, thereby fostering a warm and friendly environment. Supporting residents with dementia care needs, employing patience and understanding in all interactions. Assisting in maintaining a clean and safe environment within the care home, adhering to health and safety regulations. Participating in training sessions and team meetings to enhance skills and knowledge, as part of our commitment to ongoing personal and professional development opportunities for all our team members.
