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

Join a company that believes in Making Today Great!

Be a part of a distinguished founding team curating an exceptional lifestyle experience for our Community Members from day one

Surround yourself with excellence, compassion, and innovation - and discover why we are Happier Here™!

Enjoy competitive salary, health benefits, team meals, vacation, sick pay, and more!

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.

You bring energy and imagination to your work while remaining patient, adaptable, and attentive to the changing needs of Community Members. Whether you are leading a group activity, providing one-to-one engagement, planning a special event, working with families, or collaborating with Team Members, you approach every interaction with empathy, professionalism, and respect.

As a collaborative Team Member, you embrace V!VA’s purpose of Making Today Great! and are committed to creating meaningful experiences for Community Members, families, volunteers, and fellow Team Members.

Us.

At V!VA Retirement Communities, we believe life is meant to be lived with purpose, connection, and joy. Our mission is simple: Making Today Great!

At V!VA, we put people first. We believe in supporting one another, celebrating successes, and creating an environment where Community Members and Team Members alike can thrive.
