READY TO TAKE THE NEXT STEP IN YOUR ACTIVITIES CAREER?

Are you currently an Activity Aide or Activities Assistant in a Skilled Nursing Facility and ready to grow into a leadership position?

Serenity Estates of Morris is seeking an energetic, organized, and resident-focused Activity Director to lead our activities program.

Previous Activity Director experience is NOT required for the right candidate. We are willing to train an experienced Activity Aide or Activities Assistant who has worked in a Skilled Nursing Facility (SNF) or Long-Term Care (LTC) setting and is ready to take the next step in their career.

Because this position is responsible for resident assessments, care planning, documentation, and MDS-related responsibilities, previous Skilled Nursing or Long-Term Care experience is strongly preferred.

WHO WE'RE LOOKING FOR

The ideal candidate will have:

• Previous experience as an Activity Aide, Activities Assistant, Activity Director, or similar activities role

• Strong organizational and communication skills

• Creativity and enthusiasm for developing meaningful programs for residents

• The ability to lead, motivate, and work collaboratively with staff

• A genuine passion for improving the quality of life of seniors

If you have SNF/LTC Activity Aide experience but have never been an Activity Director, WE ENCOURAGE YOU TO APPLY. We are willing to train the right candidate on the Director-level responsibilities.

RESPONSIBILITIES

• Plan, coordinate, and oversee daily, weekly, and monthly resident activities

• Develop programming based on residents' abilities, interests, preferences, and individual care needs

• Complete and maintain required activity assessments and documentation

• Participate in the MDS and interdisciplinary care-planning process

• Develop individualized activity approaches and care plans

• Monitor resident participation and adjust programming based on residents' changing needs

• Coordinate group and one-on-one activities for residents with varying levels of ability

• Develop appropriate programming for residents with dementia and cognitive impairment

• Lead and support activity staff and volunteers

• Collaborate with Nursing, Social Services, Dietary, Therapy, and other departments

• Maintain activity calendars, participation records, and required documentation

• Coordinate special events, holiday programming, resident celebrations, and community involvement

• Ensure the activities program meets facility standards and applicable regulatory requirements

WHAT WE OFFER

• Salary of $40,000–$50,000 per year

• Full-time leadership opportunity

• Opportunity for an experienced SNF/LTC Activity Aide or Activities Assistant to advance into a Director position

• Training and support for the right candidate

• Collaborative and supportive team environment

• Opportunity to make a direct impact on residents' quality of life

APPLY TODAY!

If you have activities experience in a Skilled Nursing or Long-Term Care setting and are ready to take the next step in your career, we want to hear from you.
