Sarah 21st Jun 2020 Engagement Worker
Hi all,

I am new to this group. I have worked as an activity assistant in a carehome, but have just got a job as an activity coordinator in a new home opening in September. I am sooooo excited but very nervous too. I really want to be amazing at my job.
This site is so useful. I have already made use of the weekly activity sheets.
I am looking forward to having lots of refreshing idea's from everyone on here and also sharing my own ideas.

Hello Sarah, From an older Volunteer Social Co-ordinator, of over 30 years I would like to wish you all the best in your new home opening in September. I joined Golden Carers at the beginning of the year, and I enjoy it very much, I'm sure you will too. I have enjoyed all my volunteering positions, and as you say this is a great site for new ideas. It will help you a lot, and it is nice to hear that you will be sharing some of your own ideas to this site as well. Good luck Gwyneth
