You prefer a friendly community setting rather than an impersonal business. You keep our community running smoothly and knowing how much you are helping the staff and residents makes your work more satisfying. If you would love to lead the teams that make sure our communities are well-maintained, beautiful, clean, and safe, we believe you’d make a great Director of Environmental Services at Ohio Living.

Why Ohio Living is different
• The more variety the better. You’re knowledgeable in many areas of maintenance, housekeeping, laundry, and security, and you love to share your skills. We have plenty of systems for you to take care of, which means your days will all be unique and interesting.
• No task too big or small. If your team can handle it, we’ll let you. In addition to the big tasks, your team might be asked to unclog a toilet, do a small paint job, or even do some groundskeeping or light snow removal.
• The community’s resource. You’ll become a valued member of our community and we will rely on you to make sure things are running smoothly. It’s much more rewarding to build those relationships than it is to work on a job site or in an empty office building.
