About the job

Joining the team at Bryn Derwen as a Activity Organiser, ensures that the residents of our care home can look forward to a calendar of meaningful activities that contribute to their overall wellbeing.

The Activities role is very rewarding. You will be responsible for co-ordinating a rolling calendar of entertainment within the home that includes: planning and delivering games, quizzes, arts and crafts; arranging days out; booking outside entertainers and organising fundraising and themed events. Activities can be of any size from 'whole home events' through to smaller group activities and quiet, one to one sessions and your role is to organise and run these events as per the rota, to meet our residents' needs.

You will actively encourage involvement with community groups, inviting people into the home to join us on occasions such as coffee mornings and other sponsored activities. The role is fun and varied; no two days are the same and you will be making a positive difference to the physical and intellectual wellbeing of residents in your care.

In this role, we look for personal qualities that match our company values: friendly, kind, individual, reassuring and honest.

Other essential qualities are about being flexible and approachable, with excellent communication skills.
