Hi the qld course is now called a certificate IV in Leisure and Health it used to be called a cert IV in Community services ( Lifestyle and Leisure). I work as a Diversional therapist 27 hours per week. I have MOndays off as I have a volunteer who comes in and we have weekly entertainment. Tue/wed/thurs I work 9-4.30 and Fridays I finish a little earlier. I have a recreation officer who does 4 hours on a saturday. My unit has 40 residents. We do group activities in the mornings and 1.1 individual therapy and paperwork in the afternoons. Hope this helps you Helen.
So many great ideas in here. Glad to have found you, Golden Carers! Thank you for all the wonderful things you do to help all of us working with activities to better and to make our activities fun for our customers and us.
