Activity Assistant/MC AL
About The Position
Nestled at the base of Cougar Mountain is a senior living community in Issaquah, Washington unlike any other on the Eastside: Timber Ridge at Talus. When our community of well-traveled, outdoor-loving seniors aren’t visiting other parts of the world, you’ll find them socializing over dinner, hiking a nearby trail or just enjoying the spectacular views. As the area’s first Silver LEED-certified LCS community, our campus and natural setting reflect our residents’ love of the Pacific Northwest. You won't find our unique combination of an all-inclusive lifestyle, superior hospitality, and beautiful location anywhere else. We are currently hiring for a part-time Activities Assistant to work in our Briarwood Health Center. If you’re looking for a different perspective on senior living come join us today!
