Job Description

The Cypress of Charlotte is a distinguished Life Plan Community located in the scenic SouthPark area of Charlotte, North Carolina. This premier establishment offers a vibrant, resort-style atmosphere that combines luxury living with compassionate, high-quality care. Spanning 65 beautifully maintained acres, The Cypress is known for its welcoming and supportive environment where meaningful work is valued, and every team member plays a vital role in enriching the lives of residents. The community prides itself on fostering a culture that embraces diversity, growth opportunities, and an open-door atmosphere, making it an exceptional workplace for professionals who are passionate about senior care and hospitality.

The Cypress of Charlotte is currently seeking part-time Security Guards to join their team. This role is designed for individuals who are dedicated to maintaining a safe, secure, and hospitable environment for all residents, staff, visitors, and community members. Working in shifts primarily during late-night and weekend hours, Security Guards are a crucial presence on the campus, ensuring that both people and property are protected at all times. The position offers competitive pay starting at $15 per hour, with an additional $1.50 per hour shift differential for those working the third shift, reflecting the importance of vigilance and dedication during overnight hours.

In addition to a competitive hourly rate, The Cypress of Charlotte offers numerous perks and benefits that enhance the overall employee experience. These include discounted bus tickets to facilitate convenient commuting, an employee referral bonus program, and various recognition and appreciation initiatives. Employees also enjoy discounted meals, free parking, and the option for daily pay, allowing team members to access earned wages promptly. The work environment itself is designed to be engaging and fulfilling, combining the rewarding aspects of hospitality with the meaningful mission of senior advocacy and care.

Security Guards at The Cypress play an integral role in the community’s safety infrastructure. This hospitality-driven position requires making regular rounds both inside and outside the buildings to monitor security, responding promptly to fire alarms and emergency calls, and interacting professionally with residents, families, visitors, and staff. Team members are responsible for verifying employee and contractor presence throughout the property and maintaining clear entrances and walkways, especially during adverse weather conditions. Attendance to incidents and providing detailed reports for administrative purposes are also key responsibilities.

Ideal candidates will be those with a strong sense of integrity, excellent communication skills, and the ability to make quick, informed decisions under established protocols. While previous security experience is preferred, The Cypress values individuals willing to learn and grow within the role, including receiving first responder and first aid training. The community emphasizes teamwork, confidentiality in compliance with HIPAA and corporate standards, and a commitment to fostering a secure yet welcoming atmosphere for seniors and their families.

Joining The Cypress of Charlotte means becoming part of a dedicated team that values community, connection, and the impact of compassionate service. This part-time Security Guard position is perfect for those seeking flexible hours, a positive work culture, and the chance to contribute to a truly unique senior living environment where hospitality meets care. If you are enthusiastic, compassionate, and passionate about making a difference in the lives of seniors, The Cypress welcomes your application and looks forward to getting to know you.
