Would you like to fill your time with meaningful, fulfilling work for Seniors?

Join the exclusive launch team at V!VA Leaside - Toronto's premier luxury retirement residence

Craft a truly exceptional lifestyle experience from the ground up in one of the city's most prestigious neighbourhoods

You.

You are a creative, compassionate, and highly organised professional who is passionate about supporting older adults living with dementia and helping them live each day with purpose, dignity, connection, and joy.

You understand that meaningful engagement is personal. You take the time to learn each Community Member’s life story, interests, abilities, preferences, routines, and goals, and use that understanding to create experiences that are thoughtful, purposeful, and engaging.
