REQUIRED
Team Leader Activities
The Forge Care Centre
Cardiff
One of the most important roles in the adult care home sector is, arguably, the activities team. At The Forge Care Centre, we believe that the provision of purposeful and engaging activity for people in our care is a fundamental component of living well. Our residents have a wide range of needs as well as abilities that make up their social wellbeing. We are looking for trained or enthusiastic people who are empathetic, kind, person focussed and creative to lead a team of co coordinators.
A preference will be given to those who are registered with Social Care Wales and have any formal qualification training or skill set that is applicable. This includes:

The activities coordinator’s day usually starts at 9am but we can look at some flexibility to those who have had a similar role and are the right candidate.

· Work alongside the activities team in providing meaningful and purposeful activity
The home is warm and friendly. The ethos is kindness and compassion for everyone including the staff that work here. We are a supportive team and look out each other with an open-door policy to access a good management structure. Most importantly we put our residents first, at the heart of everything we do as they should be.
