Job Description
Do you believe retirement should be full of adventure, laughter, friendship, and purpose? We're looking for an energetic, creative, and compassionate Activities Director to help create meaningful experiences for older adults in a vibrant retirement community. This is more than an activities job—it's an opportunity to build connections, create memories, and inspire residents to live each day to the fullest.

What You'll Do Plan and coordinate a dynamic calendar of social, recreational, educational, and wellness activities.

Plan and lead local outings as well as occasional overnight and extended trips. Safely transport residents to activities and appointments using a 12-passenger community vehicle. Build relationships with residents to learn their interests and develop programs that reflect their passions. Recruit, coordinate, and appreciate volunteers and community partners. Manage activity budgets, calendars, supplies, and event logistics. Work collaboratively with other departments to create exceptional resident experiences. Help welcome new residents and encourage participation through genuine relationship-building. What We're Looking For The ideal candidate is someone who: Has a genuine passion for working with older adults. Naturally builds relationships and makes people feel welcome. Is creative, innovative, and always looking for fresh ideas. Has exceptional event planning and organizational skills. Manages multiple priorities while maintaining strong attention to detail. Is energetic, positive, and enjoys an active work environment. Communicates professionally and respectfully with residents, families, and coworkers. Is dependable, flexible, and comfortable adapting to changing schedules. Enjoys both planning behind the scenes and participating in events alongside residents. Is comfortable driving a 12-passenger vehicle and transporting residents safely on local outings and longer excursions. Qualifications Experience in event planning, recreation, hospitality, senior living, customer service, or a related field preferred. Valid driver's license with a clean driving record. Ability to obtain any required certifications for driving community vehicles. Comfortable driving a 12-passenger van. Ability to lift, carry, and move activity supplies and equipment as needed. Occasional evenings, weekends, and overnight travel required for special events and resident trips. We're Looking for Someone Who Believes... Great communities are built through meaningful relationships. Fun has no age limit. Every resident deserves opportunities to stay active, engaged, and connected. Small moments often become lifelong memories. A smile, kind word, or shared experience can make someone's day. If you're ready to make a lasting impact by creating experiences that enrich the lives of older adults, we'd love to meet you.
