Unique opportunity for a caring and patient person to work directly with children and adults with developmental/cognitive disabilities in our social clubs/groups at our Family Support Center in Woburn!

Our Family Support Center offers a wide array of supports in the home and in the community for adults and children with developmental/cognitive disabilities living with their families. These services may include respite, engaging recreational activities, provision of adaptive equipment, skill training, and intensive staff support when necessary. The clubs and groups offered at the Family Support Center are offered to provide an active, fun, and safe environment for all! Some of these activities include: cooking, art, movie/music, exercise, and other small group activities.

As a Relief Respite Provider, you would assist the lead instructor in running groups including preparation and breakdown before and after each group, help maintain the safety and well being of each individual, and provide guidance and support when necessary.
