New Lodge has a vision that ensures all our residents live a fulfilled, independent and active life. This vision is New Earswick for all ages.
About the role
Our Activities Assistant will be integral to this by working with our residents living in Extra Care to ensure they have access to a wide choice of events and activities within the development and the wider community. We want our residents to be a big part of life in New Earswick. This role will help make that happen by creating opportunities to connect residents with the wider village and by opening up our development to the community around it.
You will lead the delivery of engaging indoor activities that reflect residents’ interests, such as crafts and games, while encouraging active participation. The role also involves organising a range of trips and outings, including visits to the theatre, shopping destinations and local places of interest. You will facilitate resident meetings to gather feedback and ideas, ensuring the activities programme continues to evolve in line with residents’ expectations. In addition, you will support and undertake fundraising activities to contribute to the residents’ amenity fund.
About you
We are looking for someone with a demonstrable ability to plan and organise effectively, who can communicate clearly and inclusively through both verbal and written skills. Our ideal candidate will have a good working knowledge of health and safety and be a strong listener, with a caring and compassionate approach that puts the strengths and ideas of residents and their families first.
You should have previous experience of working as part of a team, alongside the ability to manage your own workload and time efficiently. Experience in supporting and empowering community groups and individuals is essential, as is the ability to develop, initiate and implement new ideas, projects and initiatives. You will also be comfortable managing your own administrative tasks and confident using a range of IT packages.
