Our PACE program allows for more standard working hours than is usual with elder care careers, and we foster a work-life balance by offering employees paid-time off benefits as part of our comprehensive benefits package, as well as creating moments of appreciation in the workplace throughout the year. Come join us at SCCMI, and see why VOANS has been voted by employees as a Great Place To Work the past 4 years running.
