Enliven Services provides aged residential services to older people in the lower half of the North Island. We believe older people should remain connected to their community and live stimulating and fulfilling lives whatever their circumstances. If you value and respect older people and believe you can support older people to maintain their lifestyle we would love to talk to you.

As a passionate, creative and fun-loving individual, you’ll work with volunteers and staff to support residents to pursue their interests, maintain connection with their community and learn new skills, which is all part of the Eden lifestyle promoted at Chalmers Home.

We currently have a vacancy for a fixed-term part time Recreation Officer working 42 hours on a rostered shift pattern over a fortnight period Monday to Sunday. This fixed-term position is to cover a 12 month maternity leave.

• have an energetic and enthusiastic personality
• have demonstrated experience in providing meaningful activities or an understanding / empathy with the older generation
• have a current full drivers licence (essential) and the competence to drive a van
• a first aid certificate
• a formal Diversional Therapist qualification (is desired but not essential)
