  • Help maintain attendance records, activity calendars, and a tidy, organized activity space.
  • Provide one-on-one engagement and companionship for residents who may prefer or need individualized attention.
What We're Looking For
  • A kind, patient, and creative spirit who genuinely enjoys spending time with seniors.
  • Experience in memory care or senior living preferred, but we're happy to train the right person.
  • Strong communication and teamwork skills.
  • Reliability, positive energy, and a willingness to jump in and have fun!
  • Ability to assist residents safely and occasionally lift up to 50 lbs.
Schedule & Pay

  • Pay: Competitive hourly rate, based on experience
Why Join Columbia Place
