Job Description

Eskaton is a distinguished nonprofit organization dedicated to enhancing the quality of life for older adults. With a longstanding history of over 55 years, Eskaton has established itself as a trusted leader in the field of aging services in Northern California. The organization operates a comprehensive network of 23 communities, all thoughtfully designed to support seniors and the people who care for them, embodying a philosophy that aging should be a vibrant, supported, and celebrated journey rather than a solitary experience. Eskaton’s commitment extends beyond service delivery; they foster an inclusive and diverse environment where every team member is valued and empowered to make a meaningful impact. The organization’s core values—welcoming, bringing your best, empowerment, and growth—define a culture that nurtures professional development and personal fulfillment.

The Waitperson role at Eskaton is an essential position within the dining services team, responsible for the setup, delivery, and cleanup during meal periods in one of Eskaton’s senior living communities. This role is vital in ensuring that residents receive attentive, courteous, and timely meal service tailored to their dietary restrictions, preferences, and needs. The Waitperson functions not only as a server but also as an ambassador of warmth and care, fostering an environment where residents feel valued and comfortable. Starting at an hourly rate ranging from $17.40 to $20.96, the compensation for this role is reflective of experience, responsibilities, education, and other market considerations, with Eskaton emphasizing fairness and internal equity. Beyond the essential duties, this role offers the opportunity to contribute to special events and be part of a deeply impactful mission that supports older adults in aging well and with dignity.
