Join Our Team as a Social Wellness Aide!

The Social Wellness Aide is a fun, engaging, and people-centered role focused on bringing joy, connection, and meaningful experiences to our residents each day. This position is perfect for someone who is energetic, compassionate, and enjoys creating positive moments through conversation, activities, and social interaction.

This is an entry-level role designed for individuals who are interested in working in healthcare, gaining hands-on experience, and building a foundation for future career growth. The primary focus is social engagement and quality of life, rather than hands-on clinical care.

If you love making others smile and want a rewarding job that feels more like connecting with people than traditional healthcare work, this role is for you.

Education and Experience

• Prior experience in healthcare or customer service preferred, but not required

• Must be at least sixteen (16) years of age

• CNA certification required within six (6) months of hire (paid training provided)

Why This Role Is a Great Fit

• Ideal for students, career changers, or anyone exploring healthcare

• Focuses on fun, connection, and resident happiness

• No prior certification required to start

• Provides paid CNA training and career advancement opportunities

• A great stepping stone into CNA, nursing, or other healthcare roles
