- Full-time Job Description The Ridge at Oregon City is an independent living community looking to hire a Life Enrichment Director.
Enjoy putting together daily, weekly, and monthly activities with our amazing residents. From activities like arts and crafts to fun outings, build a relationship with the community to build a life enrichment program for all levels of ability. About Us Are you excited about working with our residents in a new and exciting way? Are you a good person with a passion for being a partner with seniors to guide and assist them when they need it, while supporting them to explore new adventures and opportunities to learn? You may have worked in an Assisted Living or Nursing home before, where the residents were on a schedule for showers, meal times, activities and more. Your job may have been to ensure these tasks were accomplished on time and as scheduled each day. At this community, residents are empowered and encouraged to make their own choices, celebrating life and envisioning the possibilities…not only about when they get up or take their showers, but what new adventures to explore, what mysteries to uncover, and more! We believe that elder hood is a time of life when the spiritual and emotional lives of seniors expand; where they can make a conscious choice to transform a lifetime of experience into forgiveness, wisdom, and blessings building a legacy for future generations. As you read our Mission, Vision and Values, please ask yourself, "Do I want to work here?" "Do my values and character match those listed?" "Can I work in a resident directed living community?" We recognize our employees are the heart of what we do. Therefore, we are very careful in our selection process. If you believe you can work in a community where residents rule and employees rock, we invite you to complete and submit this application.
