Join our collaborative Day Services Team providing creative activities in our supportive community for adults with moderate, severe, and profound learning disabilities.

 

Do you enjoy providing meaningful and purposeful activities for adults with learning disabilities or similar vulnerabilities? Would you like to join a team with a Coordinator, Session Leader, Activity Leaders, and fantastic volunteers offering a diverse range of activities such as drama, dance, singing, music, woodwork, arts and crafts, gardening, and cooking, among others?

 

We welcome applicants who are adaptable, solution focused, and optimistic with experience and enthusiasm to lead activities with adults with learning disabilities.

 

Activity Leader (Creative & Performing Arts)

 

Can you plan, prepare, and lead activities centred around the arts – such as painting, crafting, music, and drama – engaging our Makers throughout the whole process? This will involve:

  • Supporting adults with learning disabilities in fostering a sense of community.
  • Assisting our Makers in connecting with the arts, providing a platform for them to express their uniqueness to the world around them through creative activities.
  • Using varied materials, equipment, and techniques to engage each Maker whilst identifying and celebrating their different strengths.
  • Applying your skills to help Makers create items that can be gifted or sold (such as cards and candles), used for decorating, as well as perform for the group or as part of a special showcase.
  • Working as part of a small team of staff and volunteers, you will also engage in wider daily sessions.

Well, we have a vacancy for an Activity Leader (Creative & Performing Arts) to join our friendly team. We are looking for a person who has experience and knowledge of working with adults with learning disabilities or similar vulnerabilities. Ideally, you will have experience working with small groups, leading creative sessions, and empowering others with artistic skills.

 

This is a 6 hours per week role, 5 hours Tuesday 9:30am to 14:30pm plus 1 hour additional preparation time.

 

This is initially a temporary position from January to March 2025. This is because we are implementing a renewed organisational structure from April 2025 that will result in slightly increased weekly hours and rate of pay for all our Activity Leaders at this time. For the right candidate this role will become a permanent position in line with our new structure from April 2025.

 

At The Life Project (Bath), we encourage candidates from all backgrounds, as we value diverse perspectives. We’re committed to creating a friendly, safe, and fulfilling work environment that inspires our team to give their best. By attracting and developing talented individuals, we foster a culture where happy and engaged team members perform at their best, making it easier for us to support our Service Users. Together, we build an inclusive, rewarding workplace for all.
