Description:

At Values Into Action , we partner with people with intellectual and developmental disabilities to design and live their best lives as active members of their communities. We believe in inclusion, respect, and self-determination—and we’re looking for team members who share these values.

• Transportation using a wheelchair-accessible van
• Medication administration and healthcare appointments
• Household tasks like shopping and cleaning
• Supporting technology use (iPads, laptops, Alexa)
• Encouraging community involvement and recreation

Part-time weekend position available!

  Friday, Saturday, Sunday: 3PM - 11PM

What We’re Looking For

• Creative, patient, and professional team members
• Strong communication skills
• Ability to support someone in living a self-directed life

Pay

• $21/hour

Our Commitment Values Into Action is an equal opportunity employer and a disability rights organization. We welcome and strive to advance individuals from diverse backgrounds who share our values of inclusion, respect, and social justice.
