Activities Coordinator

As an activities coordinator, you and a colleague provide a varied range of activities for our elderly clients. You devise, organize, and supervise activities and daily programming, both individually and in groups. In doing so, you look closely at what someone is still capable of, where their interests lie, and what they need in order to participate. For elderly people with psychiatric issues, it is often the small moments that can mean so much. A creative activity, moving together, playing a game, or simply making friendly contact for a moment. As an activities coordinator, you know how to enthusiastically and low-thresholdly encourage clients to participate. In this way, you contribute to a pleasant daily routine, the maintenance of skills, the increase of self-reliance, and the well-being of our clients. In addition to supervising activities, you also take care of announcing the range of activities. You think along about new activities and keep materials and stock in order. We are looking for an activities coordinator for 24 to 32 hours per week.

Together, we ensure a pleasant atmosphere in the group where everyone can be themselves.
