Larksfield Place Retirement Communities is more than just a premier senior living community—it’s a movement among our employees who take pride in creating an environment of exceptional care, service, and engagement. Locally managed in Wichita, we are a not-for-profit continuing care retirement community with a national reputation for excellence.

We live by our "Elevate Every Day" mantra, striving to enhance the lives of our residents, team members, and community through compassion, excellence, and genuine hospitality.

You are an experienced, self-directed maintenance professional who is comfortable taking ownership of an assigned building and working with minimal day-to-day supervision.

As the primary Maintenance Technician supporting our Assisted Living community, you will often be working independently. You can assess a maintenance issue, determine the appropriate course of action, prioritize competing needs, and complete quality work without needing constant direction.

You're equally comfortable completing a remodel, troubleshooting a work order, addressing a Life Safety Code requirement, or interacting directly with a resident. You understand that in senior living, maintenance isn't just about fixing things—it's about maintaining a safe, reliable, and welcoming home for the people who live here.
