About The Position

As a Resident Assistant / Caregiver at Deer Crest, you’ll do much more than help with daily routines. You’ll get to know the people you support: their stories, preferences, personalities and the things that make their days meaningful. Whether you already have experience as a caregiver, CNA, Home Health Aide or Resident Assistant, or you’re looking to begin a career in healthcare, we want people who bring compassion, dependability and a genuine desire to make a difference. Deer Crest Senior Living offers Independent Living, Assisted Living and Memory Care. Deer Crest has been recognized by U.S. News & World Report for its senior living services and offers thoughtfully designed spaces that are safe, welcoming and full of life. More importantly, you’ll join a close-knit team that believes great resident care starts with employees who feel supported, respected and appreciated. For more than 100 years, Ebenezer has served older adults and their families, and we continue to grow. But longevity isn’t what makes Ebenezer special. Our people do. We believe the people caring for others deserve to be cared for, too. That means investing in your wellbeing, helping you develop new skills and giving you opportunities to move forward in your career. Ebenezer’s current careers and employee-development materials emphasize career advancement, leadership development, mentoring and opportunities to grow within the organization. Come for a job. Build skills. Grow your career. Make a difference. If you're looking for work that matters, and an employer that wants you to grow with us, we’d love to meet you.
