Posting date: 07/25/25

Senior living and care is an industry that is set to explode in size in the coming years, with some studies suggesting that 3 million job openings will be available in the space by 2040. With part-time work an established and essential part of this industry, there are huge opportunities for those who want or need flexible working hours. 

SRG Senior Living operates luxury senior living communities across the US, offering independent living, assisted living, and memory care options. But it isn’t just a great place to live, we are also considered a market-leading place to work. 

Explore some of the great part-time opportunities available to students and others looking to fit a fulfilling career around their schedules and personal commitments. 

Working part-time in senior living communities: Benefits

In an ever-changing world, the benefits of part-time work have become highly enticing for many. This may be due to other commitments such as studies, family, or caring for others. Alternatively, it could simply be due to a desire for a more fulfilling work/life balance.

The senior living space is one of the best places to work part time. It offers a wealth of opportunities to those looking for part-time work. In fact, the 24/7 nature of senior living offers a huge range of flexible options when it comes to finding working hours that meet your unique needs.

Taking on a part-time role in this space can also offer you insight into what working in a senior living community is like and how challenging and fulfilling a future career in senior living support may be for you.
