Job description

What is Lifesharing?

Lifesharing is an opportunity for you to open your home and share your life with an adult with an intellectual disability.

Do I get to choose who lives with me?

We believe strongly in the matching process, and you get to choose who comes to live with you. Additionally, there are multiple preplacement visits before scheduling a move in date.

• Have a home (with one or two private bedrooms available) that is insured (renter's or homeowner's) and passes safety standards established by the state of Pennsylvania
• Reside in one of our service counties in Pennsylvania's Delaware Valley (Bucks, Chester, Delaware, and Montgomery) (Note: We also serve the Lehigh and Schuylkill regions of Pennsylvania - use this link to go to that post Lifesharing Provider Lehigh/Schuylkill regions)
• Provide Criminal Record Checks, Child Abuse Clearances, and FBI Clearances for everyone age 18 and over living in the home. Local Police and Child Protective checks will also be conducted.
• As an independent contractor, a generous non-taxed stipend starts at $2,300/month. Individuals have funds available for clothing and other personal expenses.
• Sign-on and referral bonuses available!
• Access Services is known for being a supportive organization and we provide training, assistance, twenty-four-hour on-call support and up to 30 days of respite where the individual living with you can go and stay with one of our respite providers, in the event you need alternative coverage, or just a break.
