Overview

Fello supports people with disabilities to live the lives they choose. Everyone has unique needs, so at Fello, there’s no one-size-fits-all approach to our supports.

Fello is an action-oriented organization with a heart-driven culture that centers people, community, and opportunity in everything we do. As a Community Support Assistant, you will actively support people with disabilities in maximizing their independence, self-advocacy, and decision-making in their community and at home. This is not a caregiver position, but an opportunity for support, partnership, and equity-building. While caregivers may monitor and serve, our Community Support Assistants are passionate supporters who are engaging, creative, and motivated as they support a person’s life choices and facilitate opportunities to build relationships.

As a Community Support Assistant, you will report to a Program Manager and be responsible for supporting one to four people living in one of Fello’s group homes or their personal homes located in a suburban or rural community in Anne Arundel County or the Eastern Shore. You will have an essential role ensuring the people we support are progressing according to their Person-Centered Plans, supporting with personal care and emotional support as needed, and assisting with meal preparation and daily living activities such as cleaning, laundry, and administering medication. Ensuring safety regulations are being met, completing daily logs and progress notes, providing transportation, and engaging people in meaningful activities is all in a day’s work for a trusted Direct Support Professional.

Qualification

This position requires a high school diploma or GED, though at least one year of experience working with people with disabilities is preferred.

Candidates must also possess a valid Driver’s license with no egregious records and complete all required Fello and Developmental Disabilities Administration (DDA) trainings, becoming trained as a Certified Medication Technician if you are going to administer medication.
