Pay: $20.00/hr

Reasons to Join Arbor The schedule gives you time to get yourself right first — if you're finishing an overnight shift around 7 or 8 AM, the 10:30 AM or 12:30 PM start means you have a real window to decompress, eat, and reset before your next commitment. $20.00/hr in purposeful afternoon work — not a second overnight, not another exhausting shift in a high-volume setting. Community-based, person-centered, and done by 6:30 PM every day. Meaningful work that doesn't feel like more of the same — you'll co-lead therapeutic activities and community outings with the people you support. If your overnight is high-volume and reactive, your afternoon here is structured and relationship-focused.

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 complexity stacked on top of what you're already managing. CPI training provided by the program — arrive ready, they take care of the certification pathway.
