Dedicated to enriching the lives of older adults, PHS offers a wide range of high-quality housing choices, care, and service options to support aging with dignity, independence, and purpose. Since its founding in 1955, PHS has grown to become one of the largest nonprofit providers of senior housing and services in the nation, serving over 41,800 older adults across Minnesota, Iowa, and Wisconsin through 60 affiliated senior living communities and comprehensive home and community services.

Among the many vibrant communities operated by PHS is Waverly Gardens, a beautifully designed senior living community located in North Oaks, MN, just 15 miles north of St. Paul.

The community offers a variety of care options including Assisted Living, Assisted Living with Memory Care, Enhanced Assisted Living, and Care Center/Long Term Care, ensuring residents receive personalized support suited to their individual needs.

Waverly Gardens is currently seeking dedicated Part-Time Dishwashers to join their supportive team.

Working in this environment means joining a close-knit community-based team focused on collaboratively supporting and empowering residents and one another. Employees enjoy various amenities such as off-street parking, discounted employee meals, free fitness center access, and employee recognition events, making it a welcoming workplace.

Beyond Waverly Gardens, PHS as an organization emphasizes a ministry-focused approach rooted in Christian values. Their mission centers on honoring God by enriching the lives and touching the hearts of older adults. This faith-based perspective fosters a culture of compassion, respect, and service that permeates all aspects of the work environment. Employees at PHS are valued not only for their professional skills but also for their alignment with the organization's core values of love, grace, and community.

Full-time employees (minimum 30 hours per week) have access to health and dental insurance, including HSAs and FSAs, life insurance, retirement plans with employer matching, holiday pay, and extended sick leave. Those working 20-29 hours per week receive benefits such as vision insurance, short- and long-term disability options, accident and hospitalization coverage, and educational assistance programs. All employees accrue paid time off, benefit from same-day pay, employee assistance programs, college partnership educational discounts, and access to Learn to Live resources.
