Do you like to have fun? Imagine getting paid to have fun and bring joy and happiness to peoples lives!

Be the envy of your friends and imagine telling them how your day was when it was full of fun activities, making people smile and making a positive difference in a persons life.

Embrace your inner child and creativity and imagine all the fun and engaging activities you could be planning and running each day both individually and in group sessions for our residents.

Sounds like it is too good to be true - well it's not! We have a vacancy for a Leisure and Lifestyle Coordinator to join our team at St Marks which is located at Chermside. Given the recent lock downs in aged care it is critically important that we continue to make a positive difference to the lives of our much loved residents. Imagine a world where your family and friends can't visit you. This role is therefore key to keeping our residents socially active, connected, stimulated, engaged and happy. What is a world where there is no fun! Here is a chance to be that fun, that smile, that laugh from the deep depths of the belly in possibly the most rewarding way!

As a Leisure and Lifestyle Coordinator (the fun one, the smile generator, call it what you like) you will bring your enthusiastic, creative, organised and passionate attitude to making a difference to the lives of our residents. You will plan and lead engaging and stimulating activities that are aligned to the interests of our residents, supervise and coordinate the volunteers and basically make the leisure and lifestyle program of St Marks one to be envied and the talk of the town!

58 Residents call St Marks home and we are committed to the Eden Philosophy which includes having our residents be the decision makes within the home, so don't be surprised if you are interviewed by a resident!

If this sounds like an ideal job fit for you then don't delay in getting in touch today! For more information, please contact Preeti Ronil at PRonil@wmq.org.au or on (07) 3621 4635.
