Activity Facilitator - Drogheda Day Service - Co. Louth

Where You Would Work:  Drogheda Day Service

The Hub day service in Drogheda is a New Directions led day Activity service for adults with Intellectual Disability, Autism and complex needs. We work with the individuals and those close to them to build a service that suits their needs. We support each individual to access their local community as well as build on their life skills, through a mix of recreational and educational activities.

Due to the nature of the service lone-working in the community is required.

Activity Facilitators are also required to complete admin and paperwork duties as part of their role as a keyworker. This involves completing regular reports and planning, updating and reviewing any educational/communication programmes.

Currently we have 18 service users, however this number tends to increase every year, some service users would display challenging behaviour and these individuals would have Positive Behaviour Support Plans in place.

Currently we operate on a Monday to Friday basis; are open from 9-5 Monday to Thursday and close at 4pm on a Friday. Part time positions are within these times and are each planned according to the needs of the service users. We aim to keep part time working patterns set and consistent however in the event that the needs of the service changed we might ask staff to change their working pattern within their contracted hours.

Likewise in the event that a service user had specific needs in the evenings or weekends we may be asked to facilitate service in evenings or weekends.
