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.
