Activity Support Organiser | Boyn Grove Dementia (SL6)
Full-Time: 37 hours per week
Schedule: Monday-Friday (08:30–16:30)
Salary: £23,807.45
The Role & Service
Boyn Grove Dementia Day Service is a specialist hub in Maidenhead designed to improve the quality of life for older people living with dementia, memory loss, Parkinson’s, and other long-term health issues.
Our environment is built for stimulation and ease, featuring high-contrast décor, reminiscence areas, and tactile wall panels. We provide a space where our customers can socialise, stay active, and enjoy sensory experiences that make every day meaningful.
What you’ll be doing:
As an Activity Support Organiser, your primary goal is to engage and motivate. You won’t just be "providing care"; you’ll be the spark that helps our customers enjoy a vibrant social life.
• Leading Activities: Delivering everything from arts and crafts, music sessions, and gardening to Cognitive Stimulation Therapy (CST).
• Community Outings: Getting behind the wheel of our service vehicles to take customers on trips to local attractions.
• Holistic Support: Helping with life skills and emotional wellbeing.
• Essential Care: Providing high-quality, person-centred care, including assistance with mobility, personal care, and medication.
Schedule & Requirements
• Enjoy a fantastic work-life balance with a consistent Monday to Friday schedule (08:30–16:30). No weekends or late nights!
• Driving: A full UK driving licence is essential for this role, as you will be driving our service vehicles for community trips.
• About You: While experience is a bonus, we are really looking for personality and creativity. If you have a hobby or a talent - whether it’s singing, baking, or trivia - we want you to bring that energy to our customers!
We provide comprehensive training, including classroom learning, shadowing experienced mentors, and online modules.
Why Join the Optalis Team?
When you join Optalis, you’re investing in a career that cares for you, too. In addition to a supportive environment, you will enjoy:
• Generous Leave: 25 days annual leave (pro-rata), increasing yearly to a maximum of 30 days, plus 8 bank holidays.
• Time for You: An extra day off for your birthday and a dedicated wellbeing day each year.
• Financial Perks: Access to Perkbox, offering high-street discounts on shopping, cinema, travel, health, and insurance, plus a generous pension scheme.
