Job Description

Watermark Retirement Communities is a distinguished leader in the senior housing industry with a legacy that spans over 30 years. The organization is renowned for its commitment to creating extraordinary and innovative communities where residents thrive physically, emotionally, and socially. Emphasizing a mission that resonates deeply with both its residents and team members, Watermark fosters environments that not only cater to senior living but also embrace inclusivity, respect, and holistic wellness. Their communities are designed to be more than just a place to live; they are vibrant ecosystems where seniors can continue to enjoy life in a meaningful and engaging way. Watermark Retirement Communities is recognized for pioneering a new era of senior living that balances compassionate care with innovation and excellence, setting the standard for the industry going forward.

The role of Community Life Associate within Watermark is pivotal in bringing this mission to life. Unlike the traditional scope suggested by the job title, this position offers much more than a routine role; it calls for individuals with diverse talents and backgrounds — including theater, art, music, fitness, education, event planning, and recreation. The Community Life Associate is responsible for planning and executing a comprehensive and well-rounded program aimed at enhancing the lives of senior residents. This program is designed to promote continuous thriving and well-being, ensuring residents engage in meaningful activities that contribute to their overall health and happiness. The ideal candidate will be passionate about supporting a wellness-centered program, demonstrating a commitment to the health and well-being of residents through carefully crafted activities and events.

The company values individuals who take pride in their work and understand the importance of fostering community connections. Community Life Associates have the unique opportunity to establish meaningful relationships with residents, making a tangible difference in their daily lives. The job also provides a sense of accomplishment, joy, and gratification — attributes that reflect Watermark's dedication to employee satisfaction and personal growth. This is a temporary position, offering competitive wages ranging from $22.00 to $26.00 per hour. Associates enjoy a flexible and supportive work environment that encourages innovation and creativity, with access to advanced scheduling tools and immediate earned income programs.

In addition to competitive pay, associates at Watermark Retirement Communities benefit from comprehensive medical, dental, and vision insurance plans, paid time off including vacation, holidays, and sick days, as well as a 401k plan. The company is also proud to support diversity and inclusion across all identities and backgrounds, creating a workplace culture that celebrates differences and fosters mutual respect. This position offers training opportunities and associate discounts, underscoring Watermark's commitment to professional development and employee well-being. For those with a passion for working with seniors and an interest in contributing to a thriving community, this role represents an exciting chance to be part of a premier retirement community that leads by example and embraces the next generation of senior living excellence.
