We're currently looking for like-minded team members to join our movement, which is to provide the very best care and service to our clients.

We've been redefining ourselves and working towards this ideal for over 40 years. And, as times change, we change with them.

We try very hard to be there for our clients when they need us and to guide them through the changes in their lives.

If this sounds like you, you may be a great fit for our team!

Why Join Us?

We want you to be supported during your entire time with us and beyond, so we provide a competitive benefits package including health, dental and life insurance, drug coverage, and a pension plan that matches up to 4% of your contributions.

Finally, we believe in partnering and supporting other locally owned businesses to build stronger communities so we've made arrangements with a few of them to provide you with discounts on things like home heating oil, restaurants and goods and services at local retailers.
