Activities Coordinator

Mabbs Hall Care Home is situated in the centre of Mildenhall, so it’s easy to get to and has strong links with the community. We provide nursing care for 29 residents, mostly in single rooms but we also have two double rooms so couples can stay together.

To keep our friendly home a happy and bright place to be, we are seeking an activity assistant with experience of working in a care home, to join our team for 18 hours per week. This is a fun and varied position and we need a warm-hearted, enthusiastic and committed individual to help us deliver the type of caring and stimulating environment you’d want your own relatives to have.

You will need to be creative and confident, with positive energy and a natural ability to get along with people, plus great organisational and IT skills.

Activities are an important part of life for our residents so we want to ensure the events we plan are person-centred, interesting and fun. Your role will include devising and implementing meaningful occupational therapies, helping our residents retain a sense of purpose and self-worth, bringing joy to their lives in an environment of safety, trust and respect.

Activities may include crafting, board games, puzzles, gardening, reminiscence therapy. You will need to liaise with our residents to take account of their ideas and requests, and contact providers for music sessions, pet therapy, etc.

Excellent communication skills are required and the ability to work well as part of a dedicated team. Always giving support to our residents and maintaining their dignity and privacy, the whole team strive to provide a happy, stimulating and stable environment.

Company:
We invest in our staff in training and development above the national guidelines as we recognise our staff are the key to our success. Recruiting and retaining the right staff is paramount. We do this by valuing their input and empowering them throughout their roles.
