Our agency is seeking new staff for Supportive Living Services. This is not a caregiver position, it’s a supportive position that allows a single young adult with developmental disabilities to live in their own home with the necessary support required to maintain independence. The client is at the helm and directs their own life. SLS maintains safety, support and prompting when necessary and provides direct independent living skill instruction and modeling.
Staff work 1:1 with the client who is a 20 year old male, living independently in his own home. He is autistic, verbal, has a fantastic sense of humor and is self-directed. The ideal candidates must have experience working in this population, have a clean background, clean driving record and be willing to submit to drug-screen and live-scan. It is helpful if you have some experience in ABA or similar crisis reduction model. ABA or psychiatric experience is a plus!
