Job Description

Program Assistant — Life Enrichment
Lynchburg, Virginia

Join Us in Empowering Purposeful Living

At the heart of everything we do is a powerful mission: Empowering individuals with choices in purposeful living. We envision a vibrant community where faith, wellness, and connection thrive together.

Guided by our core values Faith, Servant Leadership, Stewardship, Integrity, Innovation, and Joy, we are committed to creating an environment where both our team and those we serve can flourish. If you're passionate about making a meaningful impact and being part of something bigger, we invite you to explore a career with us.

Make a Difference in Someone’s Day - Every Day

At LifeSpire, we believe meaningful programming changes lives. As a Program Assistant, you will be a consistent, caring presence for the residents we serve — supporting activities, outings, and events that bring joy, connection, and purpose to their daily lives.

This role is ideal for someone who is compassionate, organized, and energized by working with older adults. No two days are the same, and the impact you make is real.

What You Will Do

Help plan, set up, and facilitate recreational, educational, wellness, and social programs for residents. Support special events, holiday celebrations, and community outings. Encourage participation, build genuine relationships with residents and their families, and assist individuals with varying cognitive and physical abilities — including those with memory care needs.

You will also help coordinate volunteers, manage activity supplies and spaces, support budget tracking, and work closely with our Life Enrichment, Culinary, and Nursing teams to deliver a seamless resident experience.

What You Bring

• A genuine interest in working with and advocating for older adults
• Strong interpersonal skills and a warm, patient presence
• The ability to stay organized and follow through in a fast-paced environment
• Respect for resident dignity, privacy, and independence
• Reliability, flexibility, and a team-first attitude

Experience in activities, recreation, hospitality, education, or caregiving is a plus — but your character and commitment matter most.

Why LifeSpire

LifeSpire of Virginia is a mission-driven senior living organization with a long history of serving older adults with dignity and care. Join a team that values your contributions and gives you the tools to grow.
