Our Philosophy
We believe great care begins with genuine relationships. Lifegiving Essentials supports caregivers so they can provide reliable, person-centered care, while Madrona Nest offers older adults an intimate and highly personalized alternative to larger care settings. Our marketing should reflect those values—warm, honest, respectful, and never high-pressure.
Requirements
Experience in marketing, outreach, lead generation, sales, or another customer-facing role
Comfortable making calls and starting conversations with prospective clients, families, and referral partners
Warm, confident, and professional communication style
Strong organization, follow-through, and attention to detail
Creative, proactive, and willing to test new marketing ideas
Comfortable using social media, websites, spreadsheets, CRM systems, and online platforms
Able to work independently, manage agreed-upon deliverables, and track results
Reliable transportation for outreach and community events
Senior-care, healthcare, or Whatcom County community experience is preferred
Must operate an established freelance, consulting, or marketing business and meet the requirements of an independent contractor
Our Ideal Candidate
- Our ideal candidate is a creative, self-motivated relationship builder who is comfortable reaching out to new people, starting meaningful conversations, and following up consistently. They understand that senior-care marketing requires trust, empathy, and professionalism—not high-pressure sales. They bring experience in marketing, outreach, lead generation, or business development and can independently test new ideas, track results, and identify free or low-cost opportunities for growth. Familiarity with senior care, healthcare, or the Whatcom County community is a strong plus. Because this is an independent contractor role, candidates should operate an established freelance, consulting, or marketing business.
