MHA have a unique opportunity to work in our Ellesmere Port Mayfields Care Home to support older people living with dementia to live later life well by increasing their wellbeing. We are looking for an enthusiastic individual to join our team in Ellesmere Port. We are developing a new delivery model in Ellesmere Port where 3 of our services are combining their knowledge, resource and passion to create one Collaborative Community that continues to expand the offer and support we can provide to those living both in the local community and our care home. You will be predominately based in MHA Mayfields care home focusing on the engagement, activity and wellbeing provision of our residents. You will lead on the development of projects within the home that connect our Residents to the wider community by building relationships with relevant partners such as local schools, community groups etc.
There is an expectation to assist from time to time in the delivery of community services in Ellesmere Port so you must have a willingness to travel across the locality, as well as attend team meetings, training etc at other MHA's sites. It is desirable to have a driving licence and access to a car. Travel expenses will be paid.
This position requires you to work closely with the community team and care home staff, you will therefore require strong communication and organisation skills. Confidence working on different digital platforms will set you aside from other applicants due to our everdeveloping online services used to increase our reach and variation.
The Activities Coordinator will be responsible for developing and delivering a programme of activities, the scope of which will vary depending upon resident needs, desires, and abilities. All activities will seek to reduce feelings of isolation and loneliness and promote the wellbeing of older people living with dementia. This programme could include a mix of offerings to stimulate mental as well as physical wellbeing involving a range of activities and exercises either in group sessions or on a 1 to 1 basis. The post holder will also be responsible for recruiting and coordinating a team of volunteers who will support at sessions and maintaining records of resident involvement.
