Carpet bowls assistant

ViTA (ACH Group)

Assistants are needed to set up and pack up carpet bowls equipment (roll out carpet, place chairs around the room), assist customers in attending the activity, and getting back to their rooms again. Customers, depending on experiences, may need to be taught how to play, most need to be assisted in remembering which side of the ball is biased, and how to hold it etc. (which we can teach you if you don't already know!) Some, due to health issues, might need us to problem solve to help them play better. For example, moving their wheelchair slightly diagonally in order to avoid their hand hitting the wheel as they bowl. Or closing the blinds and standing next to the kitty to improve their chances of seeing the kitty! Most of all, they need us to encourage them, praise their efforts and cheer their successes. Most weeks, we also do another short activity after bowls, to fill in time before lunch. this might be a quiz or 'Armchair travel' or reading/chatting about current news topics or playing bingo. Carpet bowls assistants are welcome to stay to help and enjoy this activity also, but it's not compulsory.

You can not apply for this role as it is no longer available.
