Duties and Responsibilities

  • Manage activity plans for residents across this 86-bed care home, with rest home and hospital levels of care.
  • Plan, develop, and lead individualised activity plans for each resident based on the activity assessment outcome, their interests, and preferences.
  • Ensure our valuable residents are treated with full respect, dignity, and cultural sensitivity.
  • Maintain personal and professional development - we have on-site managers who always encourage our staff to up-skill!

Skills and Qualification

  • You’ll have a NZQA (or equivalent) Diversional Therapy (level 4) Certificate (or working towards a DT qualification)
  • A minimum of 2 years of experience in a similar healthcare setting is preferable.
  • Have a creative flair to contribute towards a full and varied activities programme and help look after our residents while creating a caring atmosphere.
  • You are a caring, team player, vibrant, and energetic, with an active interest in organising activities for multiple levels of function and ability.
  • Have strong communication and interpersonal skills.
  • You will be required to drive the van for outings so a clean, full driver’s license is essential.
  • Applicants must be legally entitled to work in NZ.

Reasons to Belong

  • Fully subsidised Southern Cross health insurance to our eligible permanent NZ employees and a discount on insurance cover for eligible family members.
  • Wellbeing discounts and advice, EAP counselling services, study support, and cultural leave.
  • Paid parental leave - in addition to standard parental leave, Bupa offers 12 weeks of paid leave for primary carers and 2 weeks for secondary carers.
  • Refer-a-friend programme.
