Connected Living Activities Manager

About the role

At The Village at Orchard Ridge, we're searching for a dynamic ConnectedLiving Activities Manager to lead engaging programs, exciting events, and wellness-focused experiences that help residents live their best lives. From celebrating milestones and creating meaningful connections to inspiring residents through activities that energize the body, mind, and spirit, you'll play a key role in shaping a thriving community where every day brings something to look forward to. This is more than an activities role. It is an opportunity to create experiences that foster wellness, build relationships, and help residents connect in body, mind, and spirit.

Your ability to build relationships, foster accountability, and create a positive workplace culture will be essential to the success of the ConnectedLiving team.

What Makes You Successful
