Package Description:

If you are passionate about caring for the elderly and want to build a long-term career in one of our award-winning homes, then look no further than Akari Care. Our aim is to create an environment where our residents are valued, respected, and are offered the personalised care they deserve.

We now seek an Activities Coordinator who is enthusiastic about, and thrives on, making a real and positive difference to the lives of older people.

Working in collaboration and unity with the Home Manager and the wider and extended community teams you will be responsible for helping and engaging residents to socialise within the home. This includes providing a variety of activities that cater for all tastes, abilities, cultures and, respecting everyone as an individual, ensuring that you promote diversity and inclusion at all stages. You will plan and initiate rolling / individual programmes, encouraging residents not only to maintain pre-existing hobbies but also to endeavor to try other activities. By supporting and actively encouraging colleagues, relatives, and friends to participate in activities with residents you will enable additional stimulation not only in the activity itself but in promoting socialising and spending quality time with others to help enrich our residents lives. Through willingly accompanying residents, where possible, to offsite activities, you will go above and beyond for our residents.

In actively assisting with innovative fund-raising initiatives and budgeting for entertainment, materials, and outings, you will enjoy thinking creatively and out of the box with regards to ways in which additional funds can be raised to support our resident’s activities. You will help to ensure that you and your colleagues create an environment which is supportive, caring and kind and undertake all duties in a way which provides a secure and safe atmosphere in which our residents are valued, respected, retain their individualism and dignity in order to lead full lives.

By showing us you can match our values with the right desire for personalised excellence, community spirit and a kind, caring and compassionate nature, we, in return, can offer you a career developing your knowledge, skills and abilities to support vulnerable adults with the care their individual needs require.

What we require from you:

  • Experience of working within similar environment

  • Previous experience within similar type of role

  • A caring nature with ability to give everyone a personal approach

  • Flexible and adaptable to changes at short notice

  • Work well under pressure without negative impact to those around you

  • Warm, approachable, and engaging persona

  • Outgoing and have an infectious personality

  • Respect everyone, treating others as you would expect to be treated

  • Resilient and adaptable to differing needs of colleagues and residents

What’s in it for you:

  • A competitive salary

  • Pension contribution of 5%

  • Recognition schemes and rewarding referral schemes

  • Uniform provided and DBS check costs paid

  • 28 days annual leave (based on full-time hours, including Bank Holidays)

  • Flexible working patterns

  • Fully funded training and development

  • Support with personal development plans

  • The opportunity to grow and develop both personally and professionally

  • An engaging community environment where everyone is respected and included
