  • Support all departments in fostering resident engagement.
  • Model and lead programs that maximize residents’ skills and abilities.
  • Participate in ongoing evaluation of the recreation program and related quality improvement processes.

Qualifications

  • Prior experience working with seniors, preferably in a long‑term care setting.
  • Graduate of a post‑secondary diploma or degree program in recreation and leisure studies, therapeutic recreation, or a related field from a community college or university.
  • Alternatively, a post‑secondary degree or diploma in a health‑care related field with demonstrated skills and experience in providing recreation and leisure services in a health‑care setting, including planning, developing, and facilitating meaningful activities across all domains of wellness, assessment, care planning, therapeutic programming techniques, and supporting others to foster a culture of resident engagement.
  • Enrolled in a diploma or degree program in recreation and leisure studies, therapeutic recreation, or a related field with the intent to complete the program within three years of being hired (if still studying).
