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.

• A High School diploma or GED equivalent and be at least 18 years old ,
• Relevant experience working with Individuals with intellectual or developmental disabilities, behavioral challenges, dual diagnoses, or forensic involvement,

• A 401k plan with a 5% match and company-paid group life insurance. And if you choose, you can also elect additional voluntary Life Insurance, Accidental Death & Dismemberment, Long-term Disability, and Critical Care Coverage. You will have access to Bonus Programs; education reimbursement and we provide professional development and training.

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 will see many of them along with the mental health challenges in the Individuals (aka the Program participants) that we serve. You will 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 will work with Individuals and their “circle of support” (social agencies, health care providers, etc.) and family members to ensure that our behaviorally challenged and/or medically fragile Individuals can develop and/or maintain their own homes and daily routines. You do this by providing first‑hand training and developmental support across a broad spectrum of activities, e.g., daily living skills, mobility training, developing coping skills, navigating the community, money management, safe, self‑medication management and other customized interventions based on the Individual’s Service Plan.
• You will also take care to document and complete all reporting in an accurate and timely manner and engage in proactive and open communications with all key stakeholders, including recommendations for modifications, alternative training methods or need for adaptive equipment, etc. to ensure the personal care and safety of your assigned Individual(s).

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

• You will 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 will 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 will 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.

Related Experience: in the following fields a plus: Assisted Living, Behavior Aide, Caregiver, Certified Nursing Assistants, CNAs, Developmentally Disabled, DD, Job Coach, Direct Support Professional, DSP, Child Care, Elderly Care, Senior Care, Hospice Care, ILS, LVN, Autism, Special Education, Special Needs, ILS, SLS, Housekeeper, Driver, Cleaner, Home Health Aides (HHAs), Residential Care Facility Staff, In‑home support, Med Tech, Personal Care Attendant, Day Program Staff or Adult Day Program.
