Job Description

Today, we are a leading not-for-profit agency employing 1200+ staff and providing over 70 program sites in Nassau and Suffolk. ACLD assists children, teens and adults in reaching the highest level of independence with the freedom to ASPIRE HIGHER in their hopes, dreams and accomplishments. We are currently seeking a few exceptional people who have a passion to create a meaningful impact in the lives of the amazing people we support.

We have great opportunities for positive, motivated individuals to work in a residential setting assisting adults diagnosed with intellectual/developmental disabilities in becoming self-sufficient and self-actualized.

In this position, you will:

· Help residents achieve/exceed their personal goals

· Provide structure and emotional support 

· Assist in resolving behavioral issues

· Help people supported with personal hygiene needs 

· Complete detailed, accurate documentation 

· Transport program participants to and from medical appointments and recreation activities using Agency vehicles 

We require:

· Clean, valid NYS Driver’s license 

· High School diploma or equivalent 

· Some experience working with the intellectually and developmentally disabled population preferred; but will train. Cooking and light housekeeping may be required.
