The Perks of Joining PARC

• Meaningful work. How many hospitality jobs can say that? At PARC, you'll be making a positive difference in seniors' lives, each and every day.
• A true living wage. PARC is a Living Wage Certified Employer - but our current hourly rate is even higher than the published Metro Vancouver living-wage rate!
• Refreshments while you work. PARC's chef-prepared cuisine rivals the best in BC, and we offer subsidized daily meals and beverages to employees.
• No more late nights. Unlike the rest of the hospitality world, our closing shift ends at 9 p.m.
• Flexible hours and location. We're open to scheduling when and where it works for you - with guaranteed shifts every week. PARC has five great locations across the Lower Mainland.
• A supportive, diverse team and training opportunities. We believe in giving our people opportunities to advance wherever we can.
• High-value benefits. We offer Extended Health, Dental, Life, AD&D and Disability Insurance, plus an Employee Assistance Program (EAP), to help protect your health, family and way of life. Plus: birthdays off with pay, parental top-ups and much more!

At PARC Retirement Living we understand the importance of immunization to protect our residents, team members and visitors from COVID-19. As a result, one of the pre-requisites of employment is that all new hires are fully vaccinated as approved by Health Canada.
