With a longstanding commitment to improving the quality of life and well-being of the senior community, JASA provides a range of comprehensive services designed to support their comfort, safety, and independence. As a mission-driven organization, JASA focuses on fostering a supportive environment where older adults can live with dignity and care.

The Residential Porter role at JASA is vital in maintaining a clean, safe, and welcoming environment for residents, visitors, and staff. This position offers an opportunity to contribute meaningfully to the community by ensuring that the facility and its grounds are maintained to high standards. The Residential Porter supports daily operations and general upkeep, helping to create a comfortable living space for older adults. This part-time role has a shift schedule of Monday and Friday from 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM, and Saturday from 6:00 AM to 2:00 PM, totaling 21 hours per week.
