Reasons to Join Arbor

The schedule already makes sense if you work nights — Thursday–Saturday, 11:00 PM–9:00 AM is a natural fit for someone who already operates on a non-traditional schedule. No forcing yourself into a daytime routine you don't keep. A second shift option for weekend availability — Saturday–Sunday, 9:00 AM–3:00 PM works for overnight workers whose weekend mornings are open after wrapping a Friday night shift. $20.00/hr for work that matches the care and consistency you already bring to overnight roles — this is direct, relationship-focused support with adults who need a steady, calm presence. Two positions open — focused direct support work where your experience with overnight care, behavioral support, and personal hygiene translates directly into what this role requires.

Medical, dental, vision, STD/LTD/AD&D, and sick time available for qualifying employees.

W-2 employment with Arbor from day one — stable paycheck, real employer, no 1099 paperwork stacked on top of what you're already managing.
