Job Description

Benefits:

Flexible schedule

A family is currently seeking a compassionate, reliable, and motivated Self-Directed Employee (SDE) to provide support for two young men in their home through self-direction services.

This is an excellent opportunity for students or individuals pursuing careers in nursing, physical therapy, occupational therapy, special education, or other healthcare-related fields who are looking for meaningful hands-on experience in a rewarding and supportive environment.

About the Individuals

The individuals receiving support are young men with spastic quadriplegic cerebral palsy. They are nonverbal but alert, interactive, and each have unique personalities. They thrive with patient, caring support and enjoy engaging with those around them.

They live in a fully accessible home equipped with supportive equipment including a lift and Hoyer system.

Employees will be trained to support both individuals; however, you will only be responsible for working with one individual at a time during scheduled shifts.

Assisting with personal care needs
Supporting transfers using assistive equipment (no heavy lifting required)
Positioning and mobility support
Assisting with dressing and grooming
Showering and toileting assistance
Providing companionship and meaningful engagement
Supporting daily routines and activities
Assisting with communication and social interaction

What We’re Looking For

Caring, dependable, and patient
Comfortable providing hands-on support
Strong communication and observation skills
Reliable transportation required
Experience preferred but not required—we will train the right candidate

Bonus Experience

This position offers valuable experience with:

Complex care support
Adaptive equipment
Medication routines
G-tube care
TPN exposure
Specialized communication approaches

This is a unique opportunity to work directly with a family through New Jersey’s self-direction services and make a meaningful impact while gaining valuable healthcare experience.

If you are compassionate, eager to learn, and looking for a rewarding opportunity, we’d love to hear from you.
