  • Assist with furniture moves, waste removal, and general operational support as required
  • Provide staff education to avoid repeated and/or similar issues or repairs

  • Be reachable and able to respond within a reasonable timeframe while on call


Shuttle Responsibilities

  • Provide shuttle driving for residents between communities, appointments, or scheduled outings
  • Ensure the vehicle is clean and in good working condition, report maintenance concerns
  • Follow all safety and driving regulations while transporting residents


Qualifications & Skills

  • Previous experience in general maintenance, building maintenance, or handyman work
  • Basic working knowledge of plumbing, electrical, and general building repairs
  • Ability to assess issues, troubleshoot, and complete minor repairs independently
  • Strong awareness of when to escalate work to qualified trades professionals
  • Comfortable using hand and power tools safely
  • Physically capable of lifting, climbing ladders, and performing active work throughout the day
  • Valid driver's license and clean driving record


Working with Residents
