About The Position

The Lead Resident Life Partner is a hands-on leadership role for someone who loves caring for older adults and is ready to step up, lead a team, and take ownership of the shift. This is not a position where you lead from the sidelines. You will work directly alongside our Resident Life Partners—providing personal care, administering medications, responding to resident needs, and helping create a safe, welcoming, Christ-centered home. At the same time, you are the leader on the shift and the person the team looks to for direction, support, and accountability.
