  • ???? Holiday pay 
  • ????️ Paid sick time off 
  • ???? Ongoing training and development 
  • ???? Supportive team culture 
What You’ll Do

  • Assist residents with daily living skills (cooking, hygiene, routines) 
  • Provide hands-on support using positive behavior techniques
  • Plan and participate in fun activities like crafts, games, and outings 
  • Transport residents to appointments and community activities 
  • Administer medications and document daily progress 
  • Maintain a safe, structured, and respectful home environment 
What We’re Looking For
