If so, UCP Oregon might have the perfect job for you! At UCP, we support adults and kids who experience all kinds of disabilities—not just cerebral palsy—helping them to live the life of their dreams. We empower them to develop their self-advocacy abilities because we believe in the power of assisting them to make informed and independent choices, develop deeper connections within the community, and actualize personal goals.

We're currently seeking a "Weekend Supported Living Specialist" who will help adults who experience developmental disabilities to live independently in their own houses and apartments. You'll get to help them make their own choices, learn awesome new skills, and do fun activities in the community. Some folks will need help with chores, and a few people will need assistance to shower or use the bathroom. You'll work one-on-one, so you'll have the time to build real relationships.

Your schedule will be Saturdays and Sundays, generally from 9am to 6pm. Your hours will vary between 16-18 hours per weekend depending on your start and end times.

• You'll also work your regular hours on Agency holidays that fall on the weekend
  
  

This is a great job for people who want to gain experience in the fields of social services, social justice, non-profits, and healthcare... and for anyone who's looking for a long-term career. Be proud of where you work! Come join UCP Oregon.
