Job Description

About Us:

At Total Life, we're on a mission to support healthier aging and address mental health challenges by making high-quality, affordable emotional support services accessible to all older adults. As a behavioral health organization dedicated to older adult care, we use evidence-based practices to help clients live emotionally healthy, connected, and fulfilling lives.

About This Opportunity:

We're growing our in-person community team and seeking a Longevity Ambassador to represent Total Life across Greater Philadelphia.

This is a role for someone who genuinely enjoys people. You'll be the cheerful, familiar face of Total Life in the community — conducting in-person wellness assessments with older adults, building relationships with physician practices and residential partner sites.

We are not an organization that shows up and tells people something is wrong with them. Our message is the opposite: emotional wellness is part of living well, and the years ahead can be the best ones yet. If that's a message you'd enjoy carrying into a room, we'd like to meet you.

Primary Responsibilities:

• Conduct in-person wellness assessments for older adults to evaluate emotional, cognitive, and social well-being.
• Represent Total Life in the community and residential partner sites as the local point of contact for clients, caregivers, and partners.
• Build and maintain referral relationships with physician practices, senior living communities, and home health agencies across your territory — including in-person visits, delivering materials, and consistent follow-up.
• Host Total Life's longevity screening events at partner sites — including setup, engaging attendees, and helping interested older adults book their first appointment.
• Collaborate with our virtual therapy team to ensure smooth transitions into ongoing care.
• Maintain accurate and timely documentation, and log all community outreach activity in our CRM the same day.
• Participate in team meetings and contribute to improving our community-based programs.

About This Territory:

This is our largest territory by number of partner communities. Working from an Oak Brook and Downers Grove center, you'll cover DuPage County, western Cook County, Will County, and reach into Lake County — the thickest concentration of continuing care retirement communities in Illinois. Several communities in the territory have changed leadership recently, which tends to make them unusually open to a new conversation.

Requirements

Our Requirements:

• Genuinely extroverted and cheerful — a large part of this role is starting conversations with people you have never met, and enjoying it
• Comfortable walking into a physician's office or residential community and introducing yourself without an appointment
• Warm, patient, and genuinely interested in older adults
• Healthcare background or currently enrolled healthcare student — Medical Assistant, CNA, nursing, social work, public health, or gerontology
• Available a minimum of 10 hours per week
• Reliable transportation for local travel
• Comfortable using a CRM and standard phone and email tools
• Able to transport and set up booth materials
• Must be able to pass a criminal background check

Even if you don't meet every listed qualification, we encourage you to apply. We're eager to connect with people who are energized by community work and dedicated to making a meaningful impact. Students, recent graduates, and experienced professionals are all welcome.

What Will Set You Apart:

• Experience working with older adults or in geriatric care
• Prior experience running booths, events, or community programming
• Established relationships within your local community
• Bilingual in English/Spanish is a plus

Benefits

Benefits:

• $15-22 per hour, plus mileage reimbursement
• Flexible part-time scheduling that works around school or other commitments
• Supportive clinical and administrative team
• Opportunities for professional growth, leadership, and meaningful impact within a mission-driven organization

Schedule:

• Minimum 10 hours per week
• Remaining hours are flexible during weekday business hours, when physician offices and residential communities are most accessible

How to Apply:

Please attach your resume and a brief note telling us about a time you struck up a conversation with a stranger and it went somewhere good. We look forward to meeting people who are ready to make a difference in their community.

Our Commitment:

Total Life is proud to be an equal opportunity employer. We value diversity, inclusion, and respect, ensuring a workplace free from discrimination and harassment.
