Aged Care Lifestyle Coordinator
Ready to put the "fun" back in "functional"?
We're looking for a Lifestyle Coordinator who's not afraid to think outside the bingo box! You'll be the mastermind behind exciting programs that keep the residents engaged, active, and - most importantly - smiling. Whether it's hosting a lively game of "musical chairs" (literally), organizing a themed party, or creating a calming yoga class, you'll bring joy and a sense of community to everyone in the facility. Think of it as being the social butterfly for the most fun and fabulous crew of older adults.
What You'll Bring: You've got energy, creativity, and the kind of positive attitude that makes people want to join in the fun! You're a natural at making others feel at ease, and you've got a heart as big as your to-do list. If you've ever turned a dull afternoon into an unforgettable event, then you're the person we need. Bonus points if you've got a secret talent for making people laugh.
Key Responsibilities:

• Create & Lead Awesome Programs: Plan and run activities that keep residents' bodies, minds, and spirits thriving-no dull moments allowed! Whether it's exercise, arts, or music, you'll keep things fresh and exciting.
• Get Personal: Work with residents, their families, and staff to tailor programs that are as unique as each individual. After all, no two people want the same thing (except maybe cake).
• Keep It Fun & Fresh: Regularly assess what's working, what's not, and make tweaks to keep residents engaged, happy, and involved. You like to keep it spicy!
• Teamwork Makes the Dream Work: Collaborate with healthcare professionals to integrate lifestyle activities with residents' care plans. After all, fun is better when it's part of the bigger picture.
• Event Planning Extraordinaire: Whether it's a birthday bash, a holiday celebration, or a simple afternoon tea, you'll be the behind-the-scenes wizard making sure every event is a hit.
• Foster a Happy Community: Create a welcoming, fun atmosphere where residents feel encouraged to participate and let their personalities shine.
• Paperwork, but Make it Fun: Keep track of activities, attendance, and feedback.
• Volunteer Superhero: Rally the volunteers to help enhance the experience for residents, ensuring no one is left out of the fun!

What You'll Need:

• A Certificate IV in Leisure and Health (or equivalent)
• Previous Experience in Lifestyle coordinator role.
• A Current Police Check and Working with Children Check.
• Level II First Aid certification.
• At least 12 months' experience in a similar role in aged care.
• Excellent communication skills - if you can charm a room full of people, you're already halfway there.
• A flair for creativity - because a good activity is anything but boring.
• Empathy and a big, warm heart (because you genuinely care about making the residents' lives better).
• Proof of COVID-19 and influenza vaccinations.

Why You'll Love This Job:

• Unleash Your Creativity: From themed parties to impromptu dance-offs, the sky's the limit on what you can create.
• Make a Real Impact: Your work will bring joy, laughter, and a sense of community to the lives of those who need it most.
• Work with a Great Team: You'll be joining a crew that knows how to work hard, have fun, and make a difference.
• Be the Spark: You'll be the one lighting up the room with energy and enthusiasm every day.

If you're ready to take your career in aged care to the next level and make a real difference in the lives of residents (while having a blast doing it), this is the role for you! Apply today to join a fun, dynamic team where every day is a chance to bring joy to someone's life.
