What makes maintenance work in senior living so rewarding?

Posting date: 10/12/23

When you think about the role of a maintenance professional, where do you see them? You might be imagining a hotel, hospital or even a school. 

While you may not immediately associate the role of maintenance with warm environments like a senior living community, working at a senior living community offers numerous advantages that make it an exceptional choice for a rewarding career with enviable work-life balance. 

What’s so special about maintenance assistant jobs?

Responsible for maintaining the day-to-day operations, maintenance professionals are integral to the smooth running of a senior living community. From upholding the appearance of the grounds, and managing work orders to replacing appliances (because life happens!) they’re the lifeblood to excellent service in beautiful communities we can all be proud of. 

Wondering how to get your foot in the door? Explore maintenance assistant jobs.

Let's take a closer look at why you should consider exploring maintenance positions at a senior living community. 

1. A sense of purpose:

At a senior living community, you have the unique opportunity to make a difference in the lives of residents. 

Your role goes far beyond fixing a leaky faucet or repairing a light fixture; you become an integral part of a caring and supportive community. The seniors you serve often rely on your skills to ensure their safety and comfort, creating a profound sense of purpose in your work.

2. A caring and supportive environment:

SRG Senior Living is dedicated to fostering a supportive and nurturing atmosphere for both residents and employees. 

Working in such a positive environment can greatly impact your overall job satisfaction. The team camaraderie and the warm, familial relationships you develop with residents make every day fulfilling.

3. Work-life balance:

Maintaining a healthy work-life balance is a challenge in many industries, but senior living communities like SRG Senior Living prioritize it.

Regular hours, flexible working, part-time opportunities and predictable schedules allow you to plan your life outside of work. 

Whether it's spending time with family, pursuing hobbies, or simply enjoying some well-deserved relaxation, your career at a senior living community will enable you to find harmony between your professional and personal life. 

Don’t just take it from us, read Maria’s story and learn how a healthy balance has supported ultimate job satisfaction.

4. Career growth opportunities:

At SRG Senior Living, your career can flourish. We invest in the career development of our employees, and offer training and advancement opportunities.

Whether you're starting as a maintenance assistant or have years of experience, there is room for growth, and you can progress within the organization.

5. Competitive compensation and benefits:

While the intrinsic rewards of working in a senior living community are priceless, it's important to have financial security. 

Maintenance professionals at SRG Senior Living can enjoy competitive compensation packages and a range of benefits that support overall well-being, including medical insurance, 401k plans, and more.

6. Diversity of tasks:

Working in maintenance at a senior living community never gets monotonous. The variety of tasks keeps the job engaging and dynamic.

You might find yourself fixing a resident's TV one moment, and the next, you're helping prepare the grounds for a lively community event. The diversity of work ensures you're constantly learning and adapting, making each day unique.

7. Community building:

In this role, you aren't just a problem solver; you're a community builder. As one of the smiling faces our residents will see, you play a vital role in creating an inviting, secure, and enjoyable environment for the residents.

Your interactions with them go a long way in fostering a sense of belonging and connection, making your work truly rewarding.

8. Lifelong relationships:

As you continue your career at a senior living community, you have the privilege of building lasting relationships with residents and their families, like Eric has.

The bonds you form are truly special and can bring immense joy and satisfaction to your life.

Ready for an enriching career that’s more than a paycheck?

Maintenance professionals and technicians at SRG Senior Living enjoy a fulfilling and enriching career that offers much more than just a paycheck. 

The sense of purpose, supportive environment, work-life balance, growth opportunities, and the chance to make a real difference in the lives of seniors make this a top choice for those seeking a career that warms the heart and offers professional fulfilment. 

So, why not explore maintenance positions at SRG Senior Living and embark on a rewarding journey of service, personal growth, and community building?

Your dream career could be waiting for you in the heart of a senior living community.
