Programming Director

Charter Senior Living of Calumet Trace | Owensboro, KY
$20.00/hour | Full-Time
Monday–Friday + Manager-on-Duty Rotation

Charter Senior Living of Calumet Trace is looking for a high-energy, creative, and outgoing Life Enrichment Director who knows how to turn ideas into experiences residents genuinely want to be part of.

We're not looking for someone to simply fill an activity calendar.

We're looking for someone who can bring LIFE into the community.

Someone who walks into a room and brings energy with them. Someone who gets to know residents personally, discovers what excites them, and creates programming that gets people out of their apartments, connecting with one another, laughing, participating, and looking forward to what's happening next.

Calumet Trace is ready for fresh ideas, renewed energy, and someone who wants to put their own stamp on the community.

If you're the person who is always thinking, “Wouldn't it be fun if we...” and then actually makes it happen—we want to meet you.

You bring positivity, enthusiasm, and FUN to the environment around you.

You're comfortable getting people involved, starting conversations, leading a room, and encouraging residents to try something new.

Having great ideas isn't enough.

We're looking for someone who can take an idea from “What if?” to “Let’s make it happen.”

You can plan, organize, communicate, and execute experiences that residents and families remember.

You genuinely enjoy spending time with seniors.

You'll get to know residents as individuals—their interests, histories, talents, preferences, personalities, and passions—and use those relationships to create meaningful experiences.

As Life Enrichment Director, you'll have the opportunity to take ownership of resident programming and help create the energy residents, families, and visitors experience when they walk through our doors.

You'll:

• Develop and lead a vibrant Life Enrichment program

• Create a calendar residents are genuinely excited about

• Plan social, recreational, educational, physical, spiritual, and creative programming

• Develop programming around residents' individual interests, abilities, and preferences

• Personally lead activities and engage residents throughout the community

• Increase resident participation and help residents become more connected

• Create special events, themed experiences, celebrations, entertainment, and outings

• Build excitement around upcoming programs and events

• Develop opportunities for residents to contribute their own talents, interests, and ideas

• Build strong relationships with residents and families

• Support and coordinate volunteers, entertainers, community partners, and outside resources

• Manage programming supplies and department expenses

• Maintain activity calendars and required documentation

• Partner with other department leaders to create community-wide experiences

• Support resident and family satisfaction

• Help strengthen community culture and associate morale

• Partner with Sales & Marketing to showcase programming to prospective residents and families

• Support events and experiences that help differentiate Calumet Trace in the local market

• Participate in the community's Manager-on-Duty rotation

A packed calendar doesn't necessarily mean residents are engaged.

We want someone who asks:

Are residents actually participating?
Are they connecting with one another?
Are we offering things they care about?
Does the community feel energetic and alive?

What haven't we tried yet?

You’ll have the freedom to bring fresh…
