Get paid to have fun while making a difference in the lives of individuals with disabilities! We are looking for enthusiastic, passionate individuals to help us provide a fun and safe environment for our clients!

Staff will meet at the client's houses, help them develop independence in their living spaces, and can also take them on activities! We take our clients swimming, the movie theater, museums, parks, splash pads, and many more fun activities.

The Direct Care Associate should be a compassionate, focused, intuitive, present, person-centered, and charitable person.

are being met.
2. Facilitate clients’ progress toward autonomy and self-determination.
3. Ensure all client and program paperwork they are responsible for is continuously
organized, up-to-date, accurate, and prepared for month-end submission.

Alongside those priorities, the staff enjoys a range of opportunities to assist the individuals we serve. Responsibilities include, but are not limited to:

• Assisting with hygiene needs (changing briefs, washing hands, bathing, etc)
• Helping clients with basic living and social skills
• Assistance with progress toward individuals' personal goals
