Receptionist

at  Timber Ridge at Talus

WHO WE ARE:

Nestled at the base of Cougar Mountain is a senior living community in Issaquah, Washington unlike any other in the East Seattle area: Timber Ridge at Talus. When our community of well-traveled, outdoor-loving seniors aren’t visiting other parts of the world, you’ll find them socializing over dinner, hiking a nearby trail or just enjoying the spectacular views. As the area’s first Silver LEED-certified Life Plan Community, our campus and natural setting reflects our residents’ love of the Pacific Northwest. You won’t find our unique combination of an all-inclusive lifestyle, superior hospitality, and beautiful location anywhere else. We are currently seeking a Part-Time Administrative Assistant to work a flex schedule. This could be perfect for someone with a school schedule, a retiree, or a parent that may want more flexibility with their work schedule. If you’re looking for a different perspective on senior living apply now!
