Watermark Careers
We create extraordinary and innovative communities where people thrive, including you.
Perhaps it’s the smiles you’ve shared at breakfast. Or the cheers you’ve summoned when a resident writes a poem or masters a yoga pose. You’re one of the rock stars that makes each Watermark community a joyful place to thrive, which is why we reward you with excellent compensation, growth opportunities, and more.
Extraordinary Employer for Exceptional People
We hire conscientious, caring people. Our focus is on what residents can do, rather than what’s been lost. Does that sound like you? If so, let’s get acquainted. Your positive approach toward triumphs and challenges is the No. 1 trait we look for and reward.
Watermark is growing! Our available jobs may range from entry level through corporate and professional. Whatever level you start at, our goal is to train you to succeed at your first Watermark job. Happy? That’s fantastic! But maybe you’ll discover a career “up the ladder” that lights your passion. We look for associates to join our Leadership Pathways Program, to guide your advancement, and reach your highest potential.
Walk around a Watermark community and you’ll discover something remarkable: Many of our associates have been with us for five, 10, 20 years, and more. As Aretha Franklin so famously declared, it’s the R-E-S-P-E-C-T we have for each other, our residents, their family members, and their guests. It’s a culture we’ve consciously and consistently developed and nurtured over the years. It’s why Watermark associates feel such a deep sense of belonging, year after year. Every interaction matters. All associates ─ in every position, at every level ─ are expected to show customer service leadership, kindness, and positivity. We inspire and support each other.
Perks
We Appreciate Our Amazing Associates
For 23 years, Annetta has touched countless hearts with her joyful melodies and compassionate nature. “If I can make their life a little better with a smile, a touch, a song … that could be my purpose,” she reflects. At Watermark communities, caring associates foster heartfelt connections and create a supportive environment where everyone thrives.
Rochester Area Employment Network (RAEN) recognized Rod Wasicsko, Director of Dining Services, for his dedicated efforts in hiring and promoting individuals with disabilities at an award ceremony during National Disability Employment Awareness Month.
Watermark believes in the strength that comes from embracing the unique talents and perspectives of every individual, and we are committed to fostering a diverse, inclusive, and supportive environment as an equal opportunity employer.
“Working alongside Nenette has been a true privilege; she brings an unmatched passion and dedication to our mission. She’s pure heart, and her commitment inspires everyone around her.” - Mariano Perez, Executive Director, The Hacienda Mission San Luis Rey
Chef Anthony Vo's passion for cooking was deeply influenced by his grandmother, a hospital chef, who instilled in him a love for the culinary arts. As he later cared for her during her battle with Alzheimer’s disease, his dedication to senior living and cooking deepened.
With more than a decade of experience in senior living kitchens, Chef Vo crafts innovative and delicious meals, blending passion with creativity for residents every day. His remarkable talents have even earned him a spot on season 23 of Hell's Kitchen!
Salwa began her career with Watermark in 2012, embracing every dining services position – from host to server, line cook to omelet bar chef, and eventually rising to dining room manager and certified dietary manager. The most rewarding part of her current role as Director of Dining Services is creating special moments for residents, turning every meal into an opportunity for connection and joy.
From recreating a dish from their childhood to preparing their favorite dessert on their birthday, or cooking a special meal for an anniversary, each meal is prepared with love. “These moments create a lasting impact for the resident and for me, they always help bring me back to my ‘Why’ – creating that joy or comfort is so heartening.”
Thank you, Oli Uberti, for your 12 years of service at The Watermark at 3030 Park. It’s associates like you who make all the difference.
