Hello! My name is Jenna Allen and I am the Employee Services Designee for the Phoenix Campus. I work hard to ensure our employees; both new and current, needs are met in regards to Christian Care personnel policies.

At Christian Care, your first day of employment is comprised of an orientation that includes a campus tour, an exquisite lunch in our dining room, and learning about the history of this campus. After that, you will have an orientation period with your department until you are trained and comfortable enough to be put out on the floor by yourself. Christian Care is a great place to work for not only because we have an excellent working environment but also because we offer great benefits. As an employee, we will make sure that you are educated enough with all of our programs so you are able to take advantage and utilize all of them.

I have worked for this company for a little over one year and have really enjoyed getting to know new and current employees. I came to Christian Care immediately after receiving my Bachelor’s in Business Administration from Northern Arizona University. I am currently pursing my Master’s degree in Business Administration from Grand Canyon University. I really enjoy learning new material in school and being able to apply it to my everyday work at Christian Care.

Please visit our campus anytime to find out about great job opportunities and to see the wonderful working atmosphere we have here at Christian Care.
