Your Role at Signature

From floristry to folk music, as Activities Assistant, you’ll bring a wealth of ideas to improve and maintain our residents’ wellbeing. You’ll produce a packed daily schedule that caters to residents’ physical, social, emotional and spiritual needs. You’ll also organise key events throughout the year such as our Summer Fete.

You’ll be considerate of the diverse needs of individuals in a group situation, and aware of everyone’s personal care needs. Meaningful activities enhance our residents quality of life and that is why it is important to understand their likes and dislikes. You’ll also gain regular feedback from residents and provide activity reports to the General Manager.

 

Signature People

We are kind and compassionate. Positive and resilient. Proactive and organised. Honest and accountable. Passionate and keen to develop. If this sounds like you, you’ll fit right in.

You don’t need experience to become an Activities Assistant, just good written and verbal communication, IT skills and a full, clean driving license. A working knowledge of health and safety legislation, and a Level 2 (QCF) Supporting Activities Provision in Social Care is a big advantage.
