· Develop and curate visually appealing posts, including photos, videos, and stories, to highlight the positive experiences of residents and promote engagement with families and the broader community.

· Monitor social media interactions, respond to inquiries, and maintain a consistent and positive online presence that reflects the organization's mission and values.

· Collaborate with the marketing team to align social media efforts with overall communication and branding strategies.

Administrative Leadership:

· Maintain accurate records of participation and evaluations related to recreation and memory care programming.

· Prepare and distribute clear communication tools (newsletters, calendars, posters) to residents and their families to ensure program awareness and involvement.

· Attend and contribute to team and leadership meetings, maintaining alignment with organizational goals and resident needs.

Team & Operational Leadership:

· Supervise and support departmental staff, students and volunteers to ensure smooth execution of programs and initiatives.

· Establish and maintain effective relationships with families, staff, and other departments to support positive resident experiences.

· Train and mentor team members while ensuring alignment with organizational policies and values.
