Longevity Ambassador

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 in The Villages.

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 community organizers, and hosting our longevity screening booth at a local market every Saturday.

The Villages is unlike anywhere else we work. Residents here are active, independent, and organized into hundreds of clubs and recreation groups. Most of the people you meet won't be looking for a clinician. Your job is to make the case that emotional wellness is part of living well, and to make that conversation something people actually want to have.

We are not an organization that shows up and tells people something is wrong with them. Our message is the opposite: 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 at partner sites as the local point of contact for clients, caregivers, and partners.
• Build and maintain referral relationships with physician practices, home health agencies, activity directors, and club organizers across The Villages and surrounding communities — including in-person visits, delivering materials, and consistent follow-up.
• Host Total Life's longevity screening booth at a local market each Saturday, along with screening events at recreation centers, health fairs, and club gatherings — 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:

The Villages is one of the largest active adult communities in the country, home to well over a hundred thousand residents across Sumter, Lake, and Marion Counties. The community runs on an extraordinarily busy social calendar — recreation centers, clubs, health fairs, and events happening every day of the week. Someone who already knows how that calendar works will have a significant head start in this role.

Our Requirements:

• Genuinely extroverted and cheerful — a large part of this role is starting conversations with people you have never met, and enjoying it
• Real energy in front of a group. You'll spend hours at a table starting one conversation after another
• Comfortable walking into a physician's office 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, including 4 hours every Saturday managing our booth at a local market
• 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:

• Existing familiarity with The Villages — its recreation centers, club structure, and community calendar
• 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:

• $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, including 4 hours every Saturday managing our booth at a local market
• Remaining hours are flexible. In The Villages, community events often fall in mornings and early evenings, so some flexibility outside standard business hours is helpful

How to Apply:

Please attach your resume and a brief note telling us about a time you got a room full of people interested in something they weren't expecting. Please also let us know how familiar you are with The Villages. 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.
