• Meaningful work. How many jobs can say that? At PARC, you’ll be making a positive difference in seniors’ lives, each and every day.

It takes a special kind of person to work here – does this sound like you?

• You have a minimum of two years’ experience working with older adults preferably in a wellness or active event organizer role, and you’re a certified Group Fitness Leader (or are willing to certify)
• You’re an effective communicator capable of fostering strong interpersonal relationships with residents, their families, and employees.
• You’re a problem-solver who thrives in a fast-paced, customer-facing work environment.
