About the role

Being an Activities Coordinator means offering activities that the residents need and desire. You ensure that they strengthen their own resources and maintain their good health. Your task is to provide quality of life. You see each individual and have the ability to understand what each person needs.

You have an important role in leading our activities council where all activity representatives from the units participate. There, we plan joint celebrations, music events, and activities. You also support your colleagues in carrying out smaller activities in the units. Your immediate manager is the operations manager.

You are also part of a network with activities coordinators in the region/country and keep yourself updated on the broader world.

You will have the opportunity to influence by taking initiatives for change and development of the organization. This may involve leading exciting projects to benefit the residence and seeking funding/stipends for this.

In parallel with this, you may also work with care tasks as a nursing assistant based on the needs of the organization.
