These FANtastic superpowers are perfect to start or continue a successful career working at our family-oriented company which provides services to intellectually and developmentally challenged adults in their homes (and community) as they participate in daily routines and recreational activities.

• Associate degree in a human services field or three (3) years of relevant experience working with Individuals with intellectual or developmental disabilities, behavioral challenges, dual diagnoses, or forensic involvement,

But here’s a known family secret , being part of one, does take effort – it’s all about what you do (your responsibilities/contributions) and how you do it (your behaviors/superpowers) -- so here are

some of the things you can expect to experience as you build yourFANclub in this house.

There will be challenges:

• Just like families, disabilities come in different types. You’ll see many of them along with the mental health challenges in the Individuals (aka the Program participants) that we serve. You’ll also learn about the different agencies and resources we work with to help you provide support directly, or indirectly, to the Individuals.

There will be chores:

• You’ll work with the Individual, their family, and members of their “circle of support” (social agencies, health care providers, community resources, etc.) to ensure the Individual is living in a safe and healthy family home by focusing on what’s truly important to and for them.
• You’ll familiarize yourself with the resources available within the communities to support the Individual’s needs and preferences and provide training and habilitation for the Individuals to fulfill their desired outcomes as outlined in their Individual Service Plan
• You’ll also document and complete all reporting in an accurate and timely manner and engage in proactive and open communications with all key stakeholders regarding the Individuals’ needs, progress and any barriers to their success.

There will be chats, C.A.R.E., & cheers:

• You’ll participate in all required training, team and company meetings to build your knowledge, skills and abilities to grow in the family. We like to promote from within our own house!
• You’ll take ownership of your own behaviors, and help coach others over time, in how to effectively demonstrate the company’s C.A.R.E. values (compassion, adaptability, respect, and empowerment).
• You’ll receive ongoing coaching and performance feedback and be recognized for your personal and team contributions in addition to demonstrating the C.A.R.E. values.
