Location: The Springs at Missoula, In-Person

Schedule: Full-Time, Monday–Friday, 10 weeks

Launch Your Career With Hands-on Experience That Actually Matters.

Not a shadowing internship! You’ll take ownership of a real project, work alongside leadership, and contribute to meaningful improvements that impact residents’ daily lives.

At The Springs Living, our purpose is to change the way people think, feel, and experience senior living. That includes how we invest in future professionals like you.

Many internships offer observation, this one gives you ownership.

About The Internship

You’ll lead a project focused on improving how services are delivered within the community exploring ways to enhance efficiency, communication, and the overall resident experience.

You’ll collaborate across teams, gather insights, and present your recommendations to leadership. Your work won’t sit on a shelf it will help shape how we operate.

What You’ll Do (Project-Based Internship)

• Observe and evaluate day-to-day operations
• Identify opportunities to improve systems and workflows
• Gather feedback from staff and residents
• Analyze findings and develop practical recommendations
• Present your project and ideas to community leadership
  
  

What You’ll Walk Away With

• A completed, real-world project you can confidently speak to in interviews
• Hands-on experience in healthcare and operations
• Exposure to leadership, decision-making, and team collaboration
• Experience gathering and presenting stakeholder insights
• Mentorship and potential letter of recommendation
  
  

Who This Internship Is For

Great fit for university or community college students interested in:

• Healthcare
• Business
• Public Health
• Or related fields
  
  

This is a strong opportunity for students looking to gain meaningful experience before graduating or applying to graduate programs.

Helpful Strengths

• Organization and attention to detail
• Analytical thinking and problem-solving
• Clear, respectful communication
• Interest in improving systems that support older adults
  
  

Why This Internship Stands Out

• Paid internship (hourly compensation)
• Own a real project, not just support work
• Work directly with community leadership
• Build experience relevant to healthcare, business, or public service careers
• Make a visible impact on residents’ independence and quality of life
  
  

At The Springs Living, you’re not just gaining experience, you’re contributing to something meaningful.
