Passion-Driven Team: Work alongside people who actually care about their "why." Full Training Provided: Have a big heart but no experience? Don't sweat it. We'll provide all the training you need to feel confident and successful. What We're Looking For The Right Heart: You are patient, motivating, and believe in empowerment. Reliability: You have a high school diploma (or equivalent) and a valid Michigan Driver's License with reliable transportation. Communication: You're a pro at keeping your team in the loop and maintaining a positive vibe. Clean Record: A clear criminal background check is required. Note: One year of experience is a plus, but if you're eager to learn, we want to meet you! Ready to make a move? If you want a job that leaves you feeling fulfilled at the end of the day (and home in time for dinner), we want to move forward with you. #J-18808-Ljbffr
