• Plan, organise and support high quality leisure activities. This may involve trips into the community, visits to the cinema, pubs and restaurants or simply helping a resident pursue their favourite hobby or sport.
• Liaise with family members, enabling a resident to speak to parents, friends and family and providing updates on activities and progress
• Administer medication to residents in line with policy and procedure, after receiving relevant training.
