What are the responsibilities and job description for the Personal Mentors for Individuals with Developmental Disabilities position at Pathways of the River Valley?
PathWays' has been providing services to individuals with developmental disabilities and their families in Sullivan and lower Grafton County in NH for over 50 years. Personal Mentors are a part of our mission by working one-on-one with an individual to integrate into their community and meet personal goals. Mentors work very closely with the individual's family and the family oversees the daily activities and schedule.
Being a Mentor can make a difference in an individual's life. Here are some areas that families need/want: library time, volunteering, personal care, daily living skills, horseback riding, arts, grocery shopping, medication administration, fitness, employment support, social events, and behavioral support. What you do varies by individual and family. Most of our Mentor positions are part-time with varying schedules as determined by the family.
We are looking for people with positive attitudes, friendly demeanors, resourcefulness, and patience, and who enjoy being part of the community. Some individuals require assistance with personal hygienic care, some require medicine administration -- experience with either is helpful though you will be trained as well. We also serve individuals who require behavioral support and/or are on the Autism Spectrum. Opportunities are available throughout Sullivan and lower Grafton counties.
You must have a high school diploma or GED as well as excellent communication skills - verbal, written, and interpersonal. Basic math and computer skills (MS Office) are required. You must be willing to work a flexible schedule and at varied locations as needed. Mileage is paid for such travel. Experience with developmental disabilities and/or autism is a plus.
