“We provide a small town’s worth of services to the more than 1,200 residents living on our campus. We have restaurants, beauty salons, landscaping, housekeeping, laundry, maintenance, office staff and much more,” said Trisha Pepper, manager of recruitment and employment at John Knox Village. “Our associates care for the Village’s beauty, resident comfort and satisfaction, and day-to-day business operations, and they are essential to building and enriching the Village community.”

What’s more, with multiple agencies/facilities that provide health care services both on the Village campus and in the Kansas City Metropolitan Area, the Village has opportunities for nurses who are in all stages of their careers.

“When you join the Village, you’re not just starting a new job – you are joining a community of people who are committed to serving older adults, building relationships and making a difference,” Pepper said.
