ABOUT US:

 

Our company strongly values growth. We offer paid-on-the-job training, promotion tracks, and career growth. The Good Neighbor helps adults with developmental, behavioral, and intellectual disabilities live independently in their own homes through our Supported Living Services. As a SLS Instructor with The
Good Neighbor, you will work with clients in their homes. On each shift, you will have tasks that will need to be completed such as housekeeping, meal preparation, running errands, and other personal care-related activities. Unlike other companies, which are constantly understaffed and leaving you exhausted and disappointed at the end of the day, The Good Neighbor offers a healthy work/life balance that is both fun and financially rewarding.

 

We are looking forward to you joining our team!

 

You will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, gender, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, national origin, genetics, disability, age, or veteran status.

 

 

COVID-19 VACCINE POLICY:

 

Wherever you stand on this issue, we will try our best to accommodate and support what you need. Our agency is funded by one of the Regional Centers of California. They have recently released a mandate calling for all agencies that support individuals with disabilities to require vaccine mandates for their staff. Although we do prefer vaccination as a safety precaution, we know this is a personal choice for every individual so we will make room for everyone in our organization whether you are vaccinated or not.

 

 

We will accept your religious exemption or medical (must provide paperwork for medical exemptions). We do believe people have their own rights to say this isn't for them or their bodies. If you do not plan on getting the vaccine, it is recommended you wear a surgical mask.

 

 

JOINING THE TEAM:

 

We've switched to a Virtual platform for interviews! Upon hiring, you will meet our Agency Director to fill out and submit the hiring packet. Our goal is to make it safe, convenient, and simple!
