A little more about our center:

We’re a Specialized Mental Health & Rehab facility with a tight-knit, supportive team that truly has each other’s backs. Whether it’s a quick assist or just sharing the load during a tough shift, our team shows up for each other — every day.

This is not a geriatric environment - we don't want you to play Bingo all day. We are seeking a director with therapeutic recreational approaches to mental health prevention and a willingness to work closely with our Psych Rehab team. Bring your out-of-the-box ideas! You will be helping our residents find new engaging hobbies, redirect and focus on positive reinforcements, team sports ... and so much more. Join us and make an impact on someone's life thru your activity and enrichment programming.

If you’re looking for a workplace that feels more like a family, and where your clinical expertise is appreciated and supported, We’d love to connect.

Job Description

What you will do in this role : When you are a resident, games and entertainment can be the highlight of your day. As an Activity / Activities Director in our behavioral health setting, you will design a curriculum to keep our residents interested & engaged in their recovery and prepare them to return to the community. This could involve leading exercise groups, team activities, and taking a therapeutic approach to engagement & redirecting behaviors. 

  • This not your typical Activity Director position.
  • This would be a great position for a  Certified Therapeutic Recreation Specialist (CTRS)

What’s in it for you:

  • Our patients are loud, happy and eager to say hello to you as you pass by.
  • Flexible scheduling
  • Team-oriented and collaborative culture
  • Employee recognition program
  • Annual merit increase opportunities
  • Robust benefits package, including a retirement savings plan
  • Refer-a-Friend programs – Bring your friends & earn a $ bonus $.
Qualifications

Activity / Activities Director: Officially we title this job an Activities Director, but in other centers it may be called an Event or Recreational Coordinator or even a Life Enrichment Coordinator.

What we need from you :

  • Certified Therapeutic Recreation Specialist (CTRS) would be ideal, but not required
  • Certified Activity Director (the 36-hour certification course for the state of IL) is nice but not required for this setting
  • Prior experience in a psychiatric setting is preferred, but not required

If you are looking for an opportunity that provides satisfaction and personal growth, we encourage you to apply. Join us and be the reason someone smiles today.
