Social Programming Assistant in Manchester, Vermont at Adaptive Senior Living

You change the energy in a room.

You’re the one who gets the quiet resident to try the art class, turns a Tuesday afternoon into a trivia showdown, and remembers who never misses a card game. Days feel fuller because you were there.

Bromley Manor is a residential care community in Manchester Center, Vermont, with an 11-apartment Journeys neighborhood for residents living with dementia. Whatever your role, you'll help give every resident days that feel familiar, calm, and full of purpose.

Why you’ll love this job

• Your ideas come to life. Themed events, holiday parties, music, games, and outings. If you can dream it up, you can help make it happen.
• You’ll know everyone’s interests. In a small community, you learn what each resident loves and find ways to bring it into their day.
• No one gets left out. You’ll spend one-on-one time with residents who’d rather skip the group activity.
• Flexible schedules. Full-time and part-time shifts are available.

What you’ll do

• Help lead daily, weekly, and monthly programs, from group activities to one-on-one time
• Set up spaces and get materials ready so every activity runs smoothly
• Help plan and run special events, holiday celebrations, family events, and outings
• Welcome new residents and help them find activities they’ll enjoy
• Keep the activity calendar and community boards up to date
• Let the Director of Social Programming know how residents are engaging
• Keep activity spaces and supplies clean, organized, and inviting

What you bring

• High school diploma or equivalent
• 1–2 years of activities, customer service, or related experience is a plus
• Experience in senior living, healthcare, hospitality, or community programs is a bonus, not required
• Energy, creativity, and a knack for getting people involved
• Patience with residents of all abilities and interests
• Comfortable on your feet and active, with occasional lifting up to 25 pounds

What we offer

• Full-time and part-time schedules
• Paid time off (for eligible team members)
• 401(k), starting January 1, 2027
• Room to grow and develop
