But we don’t stop there. We understand that different families have different needs and we have the capacity to serve them all, no matter what career stage you are at.
At Gracedale, we don’t require a year or two of experience to get your foot in the door. If you are a caring, nurturing person who is passionate about helping others, we want you!
If you recently graduated college and are looking to start in the healthcare field, we offer free on-site trainings for Certified Nursing Aides which give you the opportunity to gain employment as a CNA at Gracedale.
You also have the ability to work as much as you’d like with overtime pay and extra weekend shifts so you can earn more pay and gain additional experience. With tuition reimbursement and assistance, you can quickly advance in your career right from the start!

As you’ll discover, our pension plans for our employees are a key component of providing a solid plan for your successful retirement.
With our pension plans, which are available to all full-time employees, you can close the gap for retirement within 15 to 20 years. You could be hired at age 35 and be ready to retire by 55! Imagine going to work each day knowing your plan for saving for retirement is already in motion, bringing in steady, significant income for your golden years. With a guaranteed monthly payment made toward your retirement fund through Northampton County, you can achieve retirement savings at a much greater and faster rate than you could at a traditional job in the private sector. We all know how important saving for retirement is, but in today’s world, rising inflation has contributed to increased costs for people at all levels of their careers. Thinking about retirement, and how to prepare for it, often falls by the wayside. Plus, more people are working later in life. Wouldn’t it be nice to know that your retirement fund has been made a priority by an organization that truly cares about its employees enough to make that happen?

And remember, with our tuition assistance program, you can complete a Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) certificate or Registered Nurse (RN) degree at any educational institution, either online or in-person. We will pay $5,250 per calendar year of the tuition and required books and materials to help you obtain positions in these fields at Gracedale. Clearly, you can see how much we value you!
If you have a family, our onsite daycare is a great, convenient option that will save you both time and money from going to various sites in the community to pick up and drop off your young ones. As you probably know, parents pay a considerable amount in childcare costs for children, and this too, can be alleviated when you come to work for us!
Add in a variety of work schedules to create the lifestyle that works best for you and you can see how attractive and rewarding a career at Gracedale can be for busy parents.
At Gracedale, you’ll find that work/life balance you are looking for with less labor intensive career options and pension plans that only take five years to mature and set you up for the years you may be unable to work.
As an example, a person hired by Gracedale at age 55 could be in a position to retire by age 60 thanks to the pension plan! From dietary aides to clerks to housekeepers, there’s a career here for you if you happen to want to work in healthcare but not necessarily in a nursing capacity.
Older adults know that saving for retirement is even more critical at this stage in their lives. At Gracedale, we make it easy to get you closer to your retirement goals.
Of course, we also offer competitive medical, dental, vision benefits, plus paid vacation, personal, holiday and sick days, all to help support your career and job performance.
As our society continues to age, careers in healthcare will increasingly be in higher demand, particularly for those at skilled nursing organizations such as ours. But unlike other workplaces, we truly understand the importance and value that passionate employees can bring to an organization and know that they too need to be cared for, financially, emotionally, and structurally, so that they too can thrive and not just survive. We know that the caring, supportive environment they seek to provide our residents cannot exist without that same approach for our staff. We look forward to hearing from you!
Your future is waiting with our caring staff at Gracedale. Visit our career page today!
