Job description

Hinds' Feet Farm, a local nonprofit in Asheville, NC, is hiring a full-time Day Program Support Professional to lead a group of 8 to 10 adults in all kinds of fun developmental activities. We serve individuals with brain injuries, and when you join us, you'll play a positive part in their growth and development.

Become our Day Program Support Professional to make a lasting, meaningful difference while enjoying:

• Competitive pay of $18.00+ (based on experience)
• Health, dental, and vision insurance
• Life insurance
• Short- and long-term disability
• Paid time off (PTO)
• A 401(k) plan
• Access to an employee assistance program
• Ability to perform meaningful work and make a real difference in the lives of the people we serve

WHAT TO EXPECT AS OUR DAY PROGRAM SUPPORT PROFESSIONAL

Standard work hours are Monday - Friday, 8:30 am - 4:30 pm.

One of the major ways we support the well-being of individuals with brain injury is by delivering quality programming that encourages their social, emotional, physical, cognitive, and pre-vocational development. That's where you'll come in! You'll lead a group of 8 to 10 adults in all kinds of engaging activities, adapting the programs as needed to fit the individual abilities of the group members. Getting fun and creative, you'll think of awesome activities and encourage the members to get involved as much as they can. You'll also take the members out of the facility on various outings, safely transporting them in our passenger bus. While every day will look different, your commitment to helping others grow and meet their personal goals will stay the same!

OUR NONPROFIT

Hinds' Feet Farm is built on a simple belief: life after a brain injury should be supported with dignity, purpose, and genuine connection. Since 1984, when our founder created the organization in response to her son's traumatic brain injury, we have focused on offering holistic, person-centered alternatives to traditional treatment models.

Today, we provide both day and residential programs designed to honor each individual's unique goals, strengths, and care needs. Our environment encourages meaningful engagement, personal growth, and a sense of belonging for every member we serve.

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

Ideally, we would prefer that you have a relevant license (CTRS, LRT, or CBIS) or be willing to pursue CBIS certification. The minimum requirements for our Day Program Support Professional are:

• 21+ years of age
• Bachelor's degree in a related human services field
• Experience working with the targeted population (individuals living with brain injury)
• Experience planning and facilitating programming in a member-driven group environment
• Eligibility for NC classification as a Qualified Professional through the Department of Health and Human Services
• Good standing on the North Carolina Health Care Personnel Registry with no substantiated findings of abuse or neglect
• 5+ years of driving experience with the ability to drive a 15-passenger bus with a wheelchair lift
• Valid driver's license, a clean driving record, and a personal, insured vehicle

As a nonprofit, we take tremendous pride in helping people move forward after injury-and in giving our team the opportunity to play a vital role in that journey. If you're looking to join a compassionate, mission‑driven community where your work makes a measurable impact, Hinds' Feet Farm is the place to be.
