Job description

Are you a natural entertainer with a heart for seniors? We are seeking a creative, energetic, and compassionate Activities Assistant to join our life enrichment team. In this role, you won't just be "planning events"-you'll be creating moments of joy, maintaining the dignity of our residents, and ensuring that our facility feels like a vibrant community.
As an Activities Assistant you will:
  • Lead & Implement: Execute a daily schedule of activities including music, arts and crafts, exercise classes, games, and religious services
  • One-on-One Engagement: Provide meaningful bedside visits for residents who may be unable to attend group functions
  • Innovation: Contribute new ideas for monthly calendars that cater to diverse cognitive and physical abilities (including memory care)
  • Documentation: Maintain accurate records of resident participation and progress as required by state and federal regulations
  • Safety First: Assist in the safe transport of residents to and from activity areas

What We're Looking For
  • The "Vibe": A "people person" who is patient, upbeat, and empathetic toward the elderly and those with dementia
  • Communication: Ability to speak clearly and engage with residents, families, and staff professionally
  • Reliability: Long-term care requires consistency; our residents thrive on seeing familiar faces
  • Experience: Prior experience in a nursing home, assisted living, or memory care setting is a major plus, but we are willing to train the right personality!

Qualifications
  • High School Diploma or equivalent
  • Ability to stand for long periods and lift/move activity equipment (up to 25 lbs)
  • CNA certification is a plus but not required
  • Valid Maine Driver's License; with clean driving record
  • Computer skills

As you are working hard planning and leading Resident activities, you will have:
  • Tuition reimbursement and education support: you can grow your career in health care
  • 401(K) with employer contribution
  • Full-time employees (30+ hours per week) have access to benefits; medical, dental, vision & disability
  • Paid Time Off available for all employees
  • Employer paid life insurance
  • Flexible savings account, including medical & dependent care
  • Employee assistance program
