• Numerous Special Olympics sports which require driving over the Bay Bridge
• Playing board games, Arts & Crafts, and gardening.
• Going to concerts and dances.

• Be a steady presence in important moments—family visits, milestones, or just a shared cup of coffee
• Advocate for each person's rights and help build their confidence and sense of self
• Keep clear, respectful records to ensure continuity of care and support

• Must be at least 21 years old
• Valid driver's license with at least 2 years of driving experience and no more than 3 points

• Health, dental, and vision coverage
• Paid time off, holidays, and paid parental leave
• Retirement plan with employer contributions (403b)
• A culture rooted in trauma-informed care, where every person is treated with dignity, compassion, and respect

Join Us! Be part of a team that celebrates each person's interests and strengths, and helps them live a full, connected life. At Catholic Charities of Baltimore, you'll do more than provide care—you'll become a trusted companion, a cheerleader, and a part of the family.
