Life Enrichment Director

Belmont Village Buffalo Grove

Full-Time Sunday - Thursday

9am-5:30pm

Part-Time Saturday

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

YOUR TYPICAL RESPONSIBILITIES

  • Leading and teaching small groups of cognitively impaired seniors using our award winning therapeutic Whole Brain Fitness programs.

  • Preparing materials and conducting relevant research to confidently lead engaging memory enrichment activities

  • Assisting with Cognitive Assessments, tracking and trending of resident participation and maintaining compliance related documentation

The certification says Great Place to Work®. Our employees tell us why: meaningful work, a welcoming culture, and the opportunity to make a difference.

THE BELMONT VILLAGE DIFFERENCE

  • Learn, Develop & Grow – Strengthen your skills with access to on-demand educational content and participate in specialized training led by our Learning & Development experts

  • Internal Career Growth – Enhance your skills, take on new challenges, and build a long-term career with us

  • Stability You Can Trust – Experienced leaders and long-tenured teams provide support you can count on

  • Belonging & Recognition – Diverse perspectives are valued, contributions are recognized, and achievements are celebrated

  • Support When It Matters – BV Cares provides direct employee assistance during severe and unexpected hardships

QUALIFICATIONS FOR THIS ROLE

  • Associates Degree with coursework in Recreation Therapy, Social Work, Psychology, Education or a related field of study. Bachelor's Degree preferred.

  • Minimum of 6 months leading group activities with a special needs population

  • Ability to work the defined schedule for this position which may include weekends

  • Must be able to communicate clearly in verbal and written English

  • Professional, pleasant, adaptable with a team oriented attitude

  • Consistent and reliable attendance is essential for all Belmont Village employees to ensure the successful operation of the community
