About the role

The ideal candidate will have infectious enthusiasm, a go-getter attitude, and the intelligence and desire to grow in a rewarding career. You’ll be a jack-of-all-trades, take-it-as-it-comes outgoing leader designing and executing activities that make a true impact in the quality of our residents' lives.

Responsibilities

• Life Enrichment: Ensure our residents recognize personal satisfaction and enrichment through designing and implementing innovative and creative activities, programs, outings, and other events.

• Event Planning: Develop, proactively plan, and implement creative activities, outings, and programs that enrich our residents' lives.
• Management: Control costs, manage the activities budget, and inspire the activities team.
• Social Connectivity: Promote participation in activities and help foster social connectedness between residents. Gather feedback from residents concerning activities and adjust programs to best meet their needs. Involve family members and guests in activities and programs whenever possible.
• Autonomy: Works under general supervision but functions well independently.

Qualifications

• Excellent Communication: You will be working with a variety of people and departments, so it’s critical that you enjoy interacting with others on a daily basis and are comfortable speaking in front of small groups.
• Detail-Oriented: It’s the little things that count!
• Self-Directed: Must be able to take a project, run with it, and (ideally) exceed expectations by anticipating needs.
• Creativity: We’re outside-the-box thinkers around here.
• Malleability: We move fast. Things change, we adapt, and we propel ourselves forward.
• Organization: We juggle a lot of responsibilities and wear many hats—you’ll need to stay organized to play well on this team.
