Caring Companion is looking for an energetic, reliable Activities Coordinator to lead engaging activities for residents across our assisted living homes.

- Build genuine rapport with residents and encourage participation
- Take photos/short videos during activities for use on our website and in marketing materials
- Communicate with home staff to coordinate timing and any resident needs or restrictions
- Keep a simple log of activities completed at each home
What we're looking for
- Experience working with seniors preferred (activities, caregiving, recreation therapy, or similar background) — will consider candidates with the right energy and no direct experience
- Comfortable being on camera / filming short clips on a phone
- Reliable and punctual — able to commit to a consistent 2x/week schedule per home
- Own transportation (mileage reimbursed)
- Warm, patient, and creative personality
