Goodwin Living is proud to be recognized as a Top Workplace in the greater Washington, D.C. region by The Washington Post every year since 2019 — and now nationally by USA Today. Since 2022, we've also been annually recognized as one of the top 100 employers for interns by the Top Virginia Employers for Intern Awards. These honors are based entirely on feedback from our team members, gathered through an annual third-party survey.

Here's what they say makes us stand out:

• Embracing Diversity: Our strength is in our diverse team from over 65 countries, fostering an inclusive and vibrant culture that values every voice.
• Growth and Opportunities: We bolster personal and professional development, offering myriad opportunities, from on-the-job training to mentorship programs and financial support, to help you reach your full potential.
• Valuing Our Team Members: By prioritizing team member satisfaction, we create a fulfilling work environment with competitive benefits, work-life balance, and recognition programs, ensuring our team feels appreciated and valued.

About the Position

This Health Administration internship is designed for students whose interests and career goals lie in the business operational side of healthcare, not just the clinical delivery of care. It is designed to introduce the student to a variety of non-clinical elements that go into operating a senior living facility, including sales, environmental services, food service, programming, financial management, and communicating with stakeholders.

The student will also have the opportunity to understand how these disciplines interact with the clinical team to support meeting the overall needs of each resident.

Final date to receive applications is Friday, November 6, 2026. This program is 2 days a week for 15-weeks (120 hours) beginning the week of January 11 and culminating on April 23. Interns will be required to submit all necessary onboarding documents and attend an in-person/all-day orientation on January 6.

Interns will receive a stipend, a resident mentor, and 2-3 professional development workshops with our leadership team.
