Job Title
Community Co-Managers, West 1
Job Description
More Than a Career . . . a Calling
How many jobs make it possible for you to be part best friend and part guardian angel to your customers? And on top of that, how many jobs let you work together with your significant other or a sibling, earning not only a comfortable salary and excellent benefits, but virtually all of your day-to-day living expenses covered including a rent-free apartment, paid utilities, three chef-prepared meals a day and more...?
In this unique role, you and your partner (spouse / sister / brother/ significant other / roommate) will co-manage one of our 300 retirement communities, living together onsite. As a team, you will provide leadership to the Community's staff to ensure that resident seniors enjoy the life they've earned. Our residents, many of them in their 80s and 90s, have been taking care of others their whole life, but now it's their turn to be cared for. They can let someone else do the cooking, the cleaning, the mowing, even the driving, and focus on the things that make them happy. As a Community Lead Manager or Co-Manager, you'll make that happen. In fact, our Community Managers are the #1 reason people choose Holiday.
You'll develop warm, caring relationships with the residents and their families, and they'll love you for it. As one resident said, "I know I don't have to worry, because I know you'll take care of me."
Quite frankly, this opportunity isn't for everyone. It involves a full plate of responsibility including supervising and scheduling staff, helping serve meals, coordinating events such as beanbag baseball games, marketing to prospective residents, handling accounting and other administrative tasks, and more. In addition you'll respond to a wide variety of care issues that arise in a Community that may include 100 or more residents. But if you are lucky enough to have an extra helping of physical and emotional fortitude, and you have business or operations management experience, we encourage you to read on.
Profiles in Compassion
Our most important requirement is that you personify "The Holiday Touch," which is our term for the genuine warmth, empathy and respect with which we treat our residents and our team. It creates the sense of family and friendship that defines our communities and our company. It also gives you the wherewithal to respond to the unexpected with grace, care and compassion.
While previous experience serving seniors is a plus, it is not required. In addition to "The Holiday Touch," the "couples" most likely to succeed in this position have:
Business/operational and financial management experience including supervision, customer service, budgeting, purchasing, payroll, and accounts payable/receivable.
Willingness to relocate within your general region (we'll consider your preferences and help with relocation costs).
A demonstrated ability to work in a team setting, both with your partner (you'll spend a lot of time together, depending on one another to carry a fair share of the responsibilities) and with other staff.
The willingness to "roll up your sleeves" and pitch in with whatever is needed
The ability to remain focused, patient and steady in accomplishing multiple tasks with competing priorities.
Strong attention to detail.
Solid written and verbal communication skills.
Experience in computer use and proficiency in Microsoft Office.
Rewards on so Many Levels
Neighbors helping neighbors -- every Holiday Retirement Community has management teams living on-site to assist the residents, and they don't just manage a facility, they lead a Community. Community isn't a thing you see, it's something you feel. It's more than just a gathering of people, it's a feeling of kinship. It's unrivaled service, compassion and care. And it's the #1 reason why people say they chose Holiday Retirement to call home.
Slash your cost of living -- in addition to a salary, we reward our Co-Manager couples with additional benefits worth almost $50,000 a year:
A rent-free apartment with paid utilities including electricity, water, cable and more.
Three chef-prepared meals a day as well as housekeeping and linen service.
Full benefits including health, dental and vision insurance, and 401(k) plan eligibility.
Two weeks paid vacation per year PLUS the ability to enjoy our travel program, meaning you can stay at any of our 300 Communities at no cost.
Pet friendly facilities; as Managers, you can have a pet as long as it weighs less than 20 pounds.
