Job DescriptionCASUAL (PRN) ACTIVITY AIDE
Loyalhanna Care Center | Latrobe, PA
If you've ever been told, "You should work with people," this might be your sign.
Loyalhanna Care Center is looking for a Casual (PRN) Activity Aide who can bring energy, creativity, compassion, and personality into our residents' days.
We're not looking for someone to simply follow an activity calendar.
We're looking for someone who helps create the moments residents talk about later.
The themed party everyone looks forward to.
The game that gets a little more competitive than expected.
The music afternoon that turns into a sing-along.
The resident who says, "I don't want to go," but ends up staying until the very end.
The simple conversation that completely changes someone's day.
THAT is what this job is about.
WHAT DOES AN ACTIVITY AIDE ACTUALLY DO?
Every day brings something different!
You might be leading a game, organizing a craft, decorating for an event, helping with a themed party, enjoying the outdoors with residents, or spending meaningful one-on-one time with someone who needs a little extra companionship.
You'll also help residents of varying abilities participate in activities that are engaging, meaningful, and enjoyable.
We love people who bring ideas to the table and aren't afraid to ask:
-
"What if we tried this?"
-
"Can we make this even better?"
-
"I think the residents would LOVE this!"
And then help us make it happen!
YOU MIGHT BE PERFECT FOR THIS POSITION IF:
-
You enjoy meeting people and hearing their stories.
-
You're creative, enthusiastic, and full of ideas.
-
You're comfortable leading groups and encouraging participation.
-
You're not afraid to be a little silly when the moment calls for it.
-
You're patient, compassionate, reliable, and dependable.
-
You enjoy music, games, crafts, parties, holidays, trivia, and special events.
-
You understand that even the smallest interaction can make a meaningful difference.
AND YES, THERE WILL DEFINITELY BE BINGO. ?
But if bingo is the only thing you think of when you hear "Activities Department," we'd love to change that!
We believe residents deserve opportunities to laugh, socialize, celebrate, learn, create, and continue enjoying the things that make life meaningful.
Our goal is to give residents something to look forward to, every single day.
EXPERIENCE? LET'S TALK ABOUT IT!
Previous experience in healthcare, senior living, recreation, activities, hospitality, childcare, customer service, or event planning is a plus.
However, we're also interested in individuals who may be new to long-term care but have the personality, compassion, and enthusiasm to make a difference.
After all, we can teach you how our Activities Department operates.
What matters most is that you genuinely enjoy connecting with people.
WHY LOYALHANNA CARE CENTER?
Because moving into a care center doesn't mean someone stops wanting to have fun, try new things, laugh, celebrate, or enjoy life.
Our Activities Department plays an important role in making Loyalhanna feel less like a facility and more like a community.
And we're looking for someone who wants to be part of that.
