Life Enrichment Worker (BSO) – Long Term Care

We are S&R Group and for over 60 years we have been building communities "where friendships flourish and life is enriched". We are looking for people who, like us, believe the work we do has a positive impact on their community and that together we can continue supporting our Residents and their families.

Our Life Enrichment teams plan, coordinate, and produce programming that delivers the 5 domains of care (Physical, Cognitive, Social, Emotional, and Spiritual). Some Residents thrive in group settings—others need something different. That’s where our Life Enrichment Worker - BSO make an incredible impact. If you’re someone who finds meaning in relationship-based care and wants to be part of an interdisciplinary team making a real difference, this role may be for you.

 

If you were working with us as a Life Enrichment Worker - BSO, here are some of the things you would have done last week:

• Planned, led, and assisted with group programs, one-to-one activities, and special events that brought joy and meaning to Residents
• Assessed Residents’ recreation, leisure, therapeutic, and restorative care needs, and developed individualized care plans to support their well-being
• Participated in behavioural assessments, using tracking tools and team consults to identify responsive behaviours
• Followed all BSO referral, assessment, and documentation processes
• Supported Continuous Quality Improvement initiatives within the Home
• Used data and observation to monitor, assess, and improve care and services

• When eligible, you can enjoy full range of extended Health benefits
• Pension/RRSP matching
• And many Company Events like our annual recognition parties, team theme parties, lunches, outings, and paid days off

 

We prioritize promoting from within and support our employees' educational needs because we care for the team we have put together. We come to our workplace each day understanding that we are entering our Residents' Home, and we are there to support them. While we don't take ourselves seriously, we take our jobs seriously and love to have fun with each other and the Residents!
