Activity Assistant
Belmont Village Oak Park
Job Description
Saturday and Sunday ONLY: 9am - 5:30pm
COME READY TO TEACH - AND BE PREPARED TO LEARN!
As an Activity Enrichment Leader at Belmont Village Senior Living, you’ll use an established, research-based curriculum to lead small-group fitness, art, music, learning, and enrichment programs for cognitively impaired older adults. Your ability to engage different personalities, adapt instruction, facilitate discussion, and make learning enjoyable can make you especially successful in this role.
Learning here goes both ways. Our residents bring a lifetime of experience to the table—including successful careers, remarkable accomplishments, diverse interests, and storied pasts. You may arrive prepared to teach a class, lead a discussion, or share a new skill and leave having learned something unexpected yourself.
Are you a teacher or educator looking for a new way to use your classroom experience? Your skills in teaching, lesson planning, leading small groups, and inspiring others can translate into a rewarding senior living career—even if you’ve never worked with older adults before!
Belmont Village offers a steady, reliable schedule, a collaborative culture, and opportunities to learn, develop, and grow your career. Whether you’re an experienced educator considering a career change or simply looking for a meaningful new way to use your talents, bring your curiosity and creativity to Belmont Village
