We are looking for someone to become involved in our Extra Care Facility in Byker.
An extra care is basically sheltered accommodation with care needs.
We have a lovely communal room where the residents can do crafts, read, play board games, have parties, bingo, entertainment etc.
We really would love someone who can come in once a week (day to suit them) to spend time with everyone either doing crafts, organising a book club, maybe activities basically anything to keep the service users happy and fulfilled.
Lawson House is a lovely place, its bright, airy, friendly and the care staff are lovely.
It’s a nice environment.
We need someone who is bubbly, friendly, helpful and really wants to make a difference.
