The role of Host/Hostess at Hillside offers an essential opportunity to contribute directly to the dining experience of senior residents and guests. This full-time position involves greeting and welcoming diners, managing the flow of the dining room, and ensuring efficient seating arrangements that meet the comfort and preferences of residents.

This position also provides access to a comprehensive benefits package that supports health, education, and financial security. Benefits include health, dental, and vision plans, paid time off, employer-matched 401(k), and education reimbursement programs.
Joining Hillside means stepping into a role that values compassion, attention to detail, and excellent customer service skills.
