Lead the program that makes every day meaningful.

Providence Place Senior Living is hiring a full-time Connections Activities Coordinator for the Memory Care Neighborhoods at our Lancaster campus. You’ll lead a team of Activities Associates and build a balanced calendar of purposeful, engaging programs for residents experiencing signs of dementia — activities that keep residents active physically, mentally, and spiritually, and give them a real sense of independence and accomplishment.

• Build community partnerships for volunteering, intergenerational programs, and resident-led activities
• Keep residents active, mentally and physically — Dakim Brain Fitness, the Biodex exercise bike, games, music, and more
• Transport and accompany residents on outings and community events in company vehicles, including our 14-passenger bus
• Serve food, drinks, and snacks during activities — hospitality is part of the fun
• Keep it running behind the scenes: activities software and TV calendars, volunteer information, and monthly reports
• Partner with the Executive Director and every department on campus to make the program a campus-wide effort

Schedule

Full-time, 8:30am–5:00pm, plus one evening 10:30am–7:00pm. Must be able to work every other weekend and every other holiday.

What you bring

• High school diploma or GED
• Prior experience working with residents with dementia and in activities programming
• Prior experience planning activities for seniors
• Valid driver’s license with a clean driving record and no major violations (you’ll drive residents on outings)
• Energetic, personable, enthusiastic, creative, and imaginative — a natural leader who motivates residents and co-workers alike
• Strong organizational skills — you can juggle a calendar, a team, and a dozen details at once
• A great communicator and listener, with effective spoken and written language skills
• Understanding of the physical and emotional aspects of aging
• Self-motivating and comfortable with computers (you’ll use our activities software)
• Comfortable on your feet and able to lift and carry up to 50 lbs
• College degree in recreation or therapeutic recreation, Activity Director Certification, or previous management experience — a plus, but not required
