Create Meaningful Days for Residents

Our Client is seeking an experienced Lifestyle & Wellbeing Coordinator to lead a team of four within a welcoming residential aged care home in Blakehurst.

You will take ownership of the home’s lifestyle program, support and develop your team, and ensure residents have access to meaningful activities that reflect their individual interests, backgrounds, abilities and choices.

Rather than simply filling an activities calendar, you will help create opportunities for residents to stay connected, maintain their independence, build relationships and enjoy a genuine sense of purpose.

Your responsibilities will include

- Leading and supporting a team of four Lifestyle Assistants

- Coordinating team workloads, staffing requirements and daily priorities
- Coaching team members and supporting onboarding and development
- Maintaining accurate lifestyle documentation and compliance records
- Contributing to accreditation preparation and continuous improvement
- Collaborating with clinical, care and operational teams across the home
