Job Description

AWARD-WINNING. MEANINGFUL WORK. A BUILDING THAT'S BEEN HOME TO JACKSON COUNTY FOR OVER 185 YEARS.

Resident Transport Driver — Full-Time | 9:00 AM – 5:30 PM | Hours may fluctuate

This isn't just a driving job. It's a place with a 185-year story — and we want you to be a part of it.

Jackson County Medical Care Facility has been serving Jackson County for over 185 years. We are a 194-bed, county-owned skilled nursing facility with a simple mission: You are why we're here. The people we interact with every day — our residents, their families, and our CarePartners — are why we exist. A legacy is only as strong as the stories behind it. And we mean that: Let's continue your story together!

As a Resident Transport Driver, you are often the first and last face a resident sees on one of their most important days — a medical appointment, a procedure, a follow-up visit. The way you show up matters. Calm, dependable, and genuinely caring drivers are not just a convenience for our residents. They are part of their care.

We have been named one of America's Best Nursing Homes by Newsweek five years running, ranking in the top 20 in Michigan each year. We have also earned a U.S. News Best Nursing Homes 2025 designation and an AHCA Bronze Quality Award in 2023 & 2026.

Our residents say it best:
"Staff evolved into friends." — Susan
"Can't imagine getting better care anywhere else." — Neil
"I wouldn't recommend anywhere else — this place is the best!" — David

• Elevate Growth — We welcome change, recognize achievement, and invest in goals.
• Bring Joy! — We celebrate, laugh, and make it our mission to be the reason someone smiles today.
• Cultivate Comfort — We build a place that feels like home, where lasting relationships are the norm, not the exception.
