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.
I cannot tell you all enough how useful your website is. I absolutely love it--it has so many resources that meet the needs of residents in all levels of care. I'm on your site daily. Thank you all so much for sharing with us!!
