Job description

Full Time Position Available: Wednesday - Sunday

For over 37 years, Senior Resource Group-SRG has been an innovator in the development and operation of senior living communities across the USA. Our experience and passion has helped us win many awards for innovative community design, excellent service and exceptional care.

The ideal candidate will have infectious enthusiasm, a go-getter attitude, and the intelligence and desire to grow in a rewarding career. You’d be a jack-of-all-trades, take-it-as-it-comes outgoing leader designing and executing activities that make a true impact in the quality of our resident’s lives…. And with that, you must have superb communication skills, be impeccably reliable, and able to meet deadlines – even in the face of ever-shifting priorities!

Core responsibilities:

• Life Enrichment – Ensure our memory care residents recognize personal satisfaction and enrichment through designing and implementing innovative and creative activities, programs, outings and other events.
• Communications – Develop newsletter content, flyers, activity calendars, one-pagers, and other collateral material that support resident/family/staff awareness and engagement. Collaborate with other Department Heads to ensure full visibility of programming.
• Event Planning – Develop, proactively plan and implement creative activities, outings and programs that enrich our memory care resident’s lives.
• Management – Control costs, manage the activities budget, manage and inspire the activities team.
• Social Connectivity – Promote participation in activities and help foster social connectedness between memory care residents. Gather feedback from residents concerning activities and adjust programs to best meet the resident's needs. Involve family members and guests in activities/programs whenever possible.

• Excellent communication skills (e.g. face-to-face, in-person, phone) – You will be working with a variety of people and departments, so it’s critical that you enjoy interacting with others on a daily basis and are comfortable speaking in front of small groups.
• Incredible detail-orientation – It’s the little things that count!
• Self-directed – Must be able to take a project, run with it, and (ideally) exceed expectations by anticipating needs.
• Creativity – We’re outside-the-box thinkers around here.
• MALLEABILITY – We move FAST. Things change, we adapt, and we propel ourselves forward.
• Organization – We juggle a bazillion balls and wear a lot of hats (No, we don’t moonlight as clowns, but you’ll need to stay organized to play well on this team).
• Schedule – Wednesday thru Sunday.
• Must be able to work weekends and holidays.

• All your information will be kept confidential according to EEO guidelines.
