About the Role: Aide in Training

This role is hired as a Hospitality Assistant and designed as a pathway into Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) training. CNA training is anticipated but not guaranteed within a specific timeframe.

• Supportive team environment where you collaborate with nursing and care staff to ensure residents feel respected, clean, and cared for.
• Opportunities to build meaningful relationships — be a familiar, friendly face that residents and families come to trust and appreciate.
• Safety-focused workplace with full training on protective equipment, infection control, and emergency procedures to keep everyone secure.

Open Shifts Available: 

• Full-Time, Part-Time
• Day-shift (6:00a-2:30p) and evening-shift (2:00p-10:30p) available
