What You'll Do

This role includes hands‑on care and physical activity throughout the shift, including standing, walking, assisting with transfers, and responding to resident needs. You'll work in a senior living healthcare setting that may include assisted living and memory care, with varying shifts to support 24/7 resident care.

You'll never be expected to do this alone-teamwork and communication are key to how we care for residents and each other.
