Congresswoman Beth Van Duyne

“The North Texas Job Fair continues to be a valuable source of high-caliber and diverse talent, helping us strengthen our workforce, support operational excellence, and reflect the inclusive culture we champion at Envoy.”

"The North Texas Job Fair has been a valuable opportunity for Vistra to meet outstanding talent and grow our team. We're looking forward to returning in 2025 and continuing to contribute to the economic strength of North Texas."

"With one year to go until the FIFA World Cup 26, we are thrilled to begin offering people in the region the opportunity to become a part of our FIFA World Cup 26 Dallas Host City volunteer team. The North Texas Job Fair will present a valuable opportunity for us to engage with the North Texas community and share how they can contribute to this once-in-a-generation event.”

"Congresswoman Van Duyne's 2024 North Texas Job Fair was very well organized and a huge success in connecting EPIC Home Healthcare with much needed, and well qualified, employees to serve our patients in Collin, Dallas, Denton, and Wise counties. We hired multiple caregivers including Licensed Vocational Nurses (LVNs) and Registered Nurses (RNs) to better serve our customer base. We are looking forward to the 2025 North Texas Job Fair to once again find highly qualified caregivers and potentially expand our operations to include Tarrant County."

“As a small business in a niche sector, the North Texas Job Fair was a great opportunity to identify quality candidates who came prepared, having done their homework with the information Congresswoman Van Duyne's team compiled for the event. Very impressive.”

What Most Job Listings Don’t Tell You

General overview for this role type — specific duties and requirements vary by employer.

Support roles in senior living — housekeeping, maintenance, activities, and social work — are far more resident-facing than similar positions in other industries. Housekeepers and maintenance staff interact with residents in their personal living spaces daily, which requires discretion, patience, and genuine respect for the people who live there. In Texas, even non-clinical staff must complete facility-specific training on topics like abuse prevention, infection control, and emergency procedures.

Activities coordinators and social workers play a direct role in resident well-being — isolation and depression are significant concerns in senior living, and programming that keeps residents socially engaged has measurable health outcomes. Maintenance staff in senior care need to understand life-safety systems (fire alarms, emergency generators, call systems) and are often the first responders for building emergencies. Background checks are required for all positions, and many facilities prefer candidates who have previous experience working with older adults.

What to Expect in This Role Day-to-Day

Based on typical senior living facilities in the DFW area.

For housekeeping roles, the day follows a room-by-room schedule — cleaning resident rooms, sanitizing common areas, managing laundry, and responding to spill or accident cleanups as they happen. Infection control protocols are more rigorous than in hotels or commercial cleaning, especially during flu season or respiratory illness outbreaks.

Maintenance staff handle a daily work order queue — everything from changing light bulbs and fixing call buttons to HVAC maintenance and plumbing repairs. Life-safety equipment checks (fire extinguishers, exit lighting, generator testing) happen on set schedules. Activities professionals plan and lead group programming — exercise classes, crafts, music sessions, outings — and also provide one-on-one engagement for residents who cannot participate in group settings. Social workers manage care conferences, discharge planning, family mediation, and community resource referrals. Across all these roles, the common thread is that you become a familiar, trusted presence in residents' daily lives.
