Job description

For you, as an Activities Co‑ordinator at Brize Meadow Lodge it will mean planning and implementing the kinds of activities that will delight our Residents. Not to mention helping the Home Manager to organise essential fundraising events. And, whether you’re giving our Residents the confidence to socialise more effectively, working on a new activity idea based on Residents' hobbies, or getting the rest of the care home team involved – you’ll do so with a sense of kindness above all else. HC‑One are looking for someone with a background working with vulnerable individuals, ideally developing activity programmes. Beyond that, it is all about your brilliant, positive energy and natural ability to get along with people. You’ll have great planning, organisational and IT skills and be able to manage your time effectively. And whenever you communicate with a Resident or co‑worker, you’ll be truly considerate and kind. Safeguarding is everyone’s responsibility and therefore it is important that you are able to recognise the signs which may indicate possible abuse, harm or neglect in its different forms and know what to do if there are any concerns. All colleagues are required to attend safeguarding training appropriate to their role and to undertake additional training in associated areas. You also have the ability to seek appropriate advice and report concerns, including escalation if action is not taken.
