Job description

Wage: $17.00/hour
Hours: Full and part time hours are available to you!

You are inspired by the idea of working with a mission-driven non-profit dedicated to the delivery of quality home and community-based care. Work in partnership with an individualized support team of professionals enhancing the lives of people of all ages living and thriving with disabilities.

If you are seeking a position where you can combine your passion and purpose for serving others, join our team of cool, creative colleagues.

• We provide care 24/7, so you can build a flexible schedule around your availability (especially if you need late afternoons/early evenings and weekends!)

  • General Supervision

• Adhere to all agency policies and requirements.
