Learn, Lead and Inspire - Activity Programs Coordinator In-Training (Full Time)

Belmont Village Senior Living’s Activity Programs Coordinator In-Training program is designed to prepare qualified candidates for leadership as an Activity Programs Coordinator.

The program immerses candidates in all aspects of the role including how to promote resident socialization, growth, learning and development by planning and implementing activities, supervising our resident transportation programs and leading Community holiday programming.

Participants train at a host Belmont Village community under the direction of a preceptor and program administrator, who will guide their training over the course of the program.

Participants will learn both technical skills related to their job, as well as hone their leadership skills in order to be successful as an Activity Programs Coordinator.

This is accomplished through a combination of on-the-job shadowing, completion of a knowledge & skills checklist, participation in online self-paced training modules, participation in leadership assessment tools, and hands-on experience.

Once the participant successfully completes the program, they will be eligible to apply for any available Activity Programs Coordinator role.
