Open your home to provide an individual with intellectual and developmental disabilities a unique opportunity to live with a family unit. AFL living enables a person to live in a private home with a family and receive 24-hour supports and habilitation.

Easterseals PORT Health is seeking a person interested in becoming an Alternative Family Living (AFL) Provider in North Carolina.

As an AFL provider, you will have an individual come to live with you who possesses intellectual developmental disabilities and/or possibly mental health challenges. Our supported individuals each have their own identities with varying levels of needs and we pride ourselves on connecting people with the "right fit". As an AFL provider, you will offer a stable and caring home where they can live, grow and integrate into the community working toward goals of daily living skills/independence. Depending on the supported individual, he/she may attend a day program or receive other services in addition to what the AFL will be providing with residential services.

CNA or DSP experience is preferred.

This is an opportunity for an independent contractor and is not an employment position.
