With ABI Resources, our mission is to provide a calm, balanced, and understanding environment for individuals recovering from brain injuries, strokes, and TBIs. We believe in inspiring and supporting our clients without ever being controlling. We focus on creating an atmosphere of trust and guidance, where clients feel empowered to grow and regain independence, but within the structure and support that ensures their safety and well-being.

As an Independent Living Skills Trainer (ILST), Recovery Assistant (RA), Companion, Direct Support Professional (DSP), or Personal Care Assistant (PCA), you will be a crucial part of our team, offering calm, consistent care while fostering understanding and growth. Your role is not to control or manage, but to guide clients with empathy, helping them navigate challenges while providing the stability they need.

The Ideal Candidate:

• Certainty: You value being a consistent and reliable source of support. Your role is to provide stability and balance, helping clients feel secure as they work through their challenges.
• Variety: While some tasks may be routine, you thrive on the small, everyday changes that come from working with individuals on their recovery journeys.
• Significance: You understand the importance of your work. Every interaction has the power to improve someone’s life.
• Love and Connection: You are driven by the desire to build genuine, supportive relationships.
• Growth: You see your role at ABI Resources as an opportunity to grow alongside your clients.
• Contribution: You are deeply motivated by the desire to give.

Roles and Responsibilities:

• Consistent Support: Provide balanced, calm, and reliable assistance with daily tasks, helping clients maintain structure and progress in their recovery.
• Professional Friendship: Build strong, supportive relationships without control, offering emotional and practical support.
• Daily Living Assistance: Assist with personal hygiene, meal preparation, and keeping the living environment organized.
• Health and Wellness Management: Help clients manage medical appointments and encourage physical and social activity.

What We’re Looking For:

• Education: High school diploma or equivalent.
• Experience: Ideally, you have 2 to 3 years of experience in disability care, but the most important quality is compassion.
• Requirements: A valid driver’s license, reliable transportation, proof of insurance, and a reference from a personal or professional contact.
• Age: Must be at least 18 years old.

Why Choose ABI Resources?

• Supportive Team Culture: Our work environment is based on collaboration, respect, and open communication.
• Flexible Scheduling: We offer full-time, part-time, weekday, and weekend shifts to fit your schedule.
• Meaningful Work: Your role will have a direct impact on improving the quality of life for those we serve.
