Activity Session Facilitator – Men’s Groups
We’re looking for new Sessional Workshop Facilitators to join our team at Alive. If you’re someone who wants to make a real difference to the lives of older people, by providing Men’s Clubs in care settings and the local community, check out the job description below and get in touch today.
The Role
This role will ideally suit someone who has an affinity with the interests and hobbies of older men, and who has a good knowledge of 20th Century events and local history, so that they can create and engage in guided reminiscence conversations and facilitate Alive Men’s Clubs in the Bristol, North Somerset, Bath and South Gloucestershire areas.
