Receptionist - Guest Relations PRN

Shift is PRN, filling in for any/all shifts! We operate four different front desk areas across our campus. Hours and shifts vary with flexibility ranging from days (8-9 hours shifts), evenings (4 hour shifts) or weekends (8 hour shifts).

Superb fit for someone recently retired or stepping away from full-time. If you are needing specific number of hours, this is probably not the best position for you. Hours are not guaranteed.

All positions are busy, friendly and will keep you moving. This position is the face of our wonderful resident community environment. You'll love our teammate relationships - come be a part of our Culture of Kindness!

With a shared legacy in business and healthcare innovation, Forefront Living's family of care-oriented organizations blends values built on compassion and faith with high-quality senior care - long-term care, Alzheimer's and memory care, skilled nursing and rehabilitation therapies, hospice and palliative care.

These senior care services, along with the celebration of independent living at our senior lifestyle communities, combine to bring deeper meaning to every phase of life for people of all faiths, regardless of race, gender, color, religion, national origin or disability.
