It’s not just about them choosing you, you’re choosing too. Before you walk into your Activity Coordinator interview, take time to find out what really matters: the CQC report, who lives there, how they value activities, and what support you’ll receive. Meaningful activities don’t happen by accident - they happen in homes that value them. Make sure you choose one that values you too.
Every resident’s box was shaped long before they moved in.
By the work they did. The routines they lived by.
The responsibilities they carried. The roles that mattered to them; parent, partner, worker, carer, organiser, provider.
Their box holds memories, habits, preferences, and values that didn’t disappear just because their circumstances changed. When we remember this, it becomes easier to see residents as whole people, not just as participants (or non-participants)
