About the Role.
We are looking for an enthusiastic, empathetic and proactive person to join our friendly team at The County Care Home in Enniskillen as an Activities and Wellbeing Co-ordinator. Activities are a huge part of life for our residents, and this is a key role within our Home. The hours will be part time, working 5 days per week from 11-16:00h with some weekend or evening work required at times.
Your role will be to bring happiness to the lives of our residents, as part of our ‘Enjoy Your Day’ initiative. With support from the home manager and the wider team, you will be responsible for planning, organising, promoting and implementing a meaningful, enjoyable, engaging and stimulating activities programme. This will be in line with the principles, policies, procedures and best practice guidelines for person-centred, clinical and dementia care. Whether it’s chair yoga, baking, gardening, music or pet therapy, we guarantee no two days will be the same.
You will also report on the effectiveness of your activities programme, regularly reviewing, revising and refreshing it for all residents accordingly.
This is a varied and rewarding role, and a fantastic opportunity to have a positive impact on the lives of our residents. It would really suit the likes of former teachers, occupational therapists or arts co-ordinator that are looking for a new, exciting challenge.
