About You
You're a compassionate and empathetic individual driven to provide the best possible care for the residents you serve. You love building long-term relationships with the people in your care and will go the extra mile for them when the situation calls for it. You're great at communicating instructions in a way that anyone can understand and speaking calmly and friendly, even when the conversation is difficult. You handle complex and stressful situations in stride, as your emotional resilience has given you the ability to remain calm under pressure. You've also learned to be adaptable to changing conditions and consistently plan for your resident's care. People remark that you genuinely care about them and make them feel heard. Your co-workers like you and always want to be on your team. You're also known for your sense of humour and fun-loving spirit.

You’ll become an ambassador of Baptist Housing and model our values in all interactions. You'll serve in one of our three communities, Smith Creek Village, Village at Mill Creek and Sun Pointe Village. These positions are casual, and you’ll report to the Administrator.
