Job description

$17.00-$21.00 per hour | 20-25 hours per week Join the Mary T team and help individuals with disabilities build confidence, develop life skills, and maintain independence in their homes and communities! As a Community Support Specialist (CSS), you'll work one-on-one with adults with disabilities, providing personalized support based on their goals, abilities, and preferences. Your role focuses on teaching, coaching, and working alongside individuals to develop and maintain everyday life skills, while also providing hands‑on assistance and additional support when needed based on each person's abilities, preferences, and individual needs.

• Documentation is required: Accurate and timely electronic service notes and visit verification (EVV) must be completed for each visit using a smartphone app.
• Flexible scheduling: Visits vary based on individual needs, but staff typically maintain consistent weekly schedules with the people they support.

We're looking for dependable, compassionate team members who:

• Are patient, positive, respectful, and nonjudgmental.
• Enjoy building trusting relationships and supporting people with different abilities and needs.
• Communicate effectively and work well with others.
• Are creative problem-solvers who can adapt to different situations.
• Enjoy teaching, coaching, and encouraging independence.
• Can work independently while staying connected and communicating with their team.

• Willingness to drive within a 30-mile service radius and transport individuals.
• Ability to pass a Minnesota DHS background study and motor vehicle record check.
• Basic computer and smartphone skills for electronic documentation and EVV.
• Strong communication, reading, and writing skills to follow support plans and document services accurately.
• Ability to work independently, maintain professional boundaries, and collaborate with a team.
