Your day-to-day might include:

  • Helping with meal preparation and household tasks
  • Supporting personal hygiene and financial management
  • Encouraging socialization and building confidence

  • Maintaining accurate documentation and following care plans
Every shift brings an opportunity to help someone grow, smile, and succeed!

What You'll Need:
  • Be at least 18 years old
  • Have a high school diploma or equivalent
  • Own reliable transportation, a valid driver's license, proof of insurance, and a clean driving record (3+ years)
  • Hold or be willing to obtain Acquired Brain Injury (ABI) and Person-Centered certifications (we'll help you with the training!)
  • Be flexible and able to travel within assigned areas
Perks & Benefits:

Pay: $17.00/hour

Schedule: 2nd shift available

Part-Time employees also enjoy:
  • Training programs offered for Companion services
  • Training programs offer for Recovery Assistance (RA) services
  • 1:1 support from a highly qualified Program Manager or Operations Manager
  • Paid orientation and training
  • Mileage reimbursement
  • Referral bonuses

Why You'll Love Project Genesis?

At Project Genesis, you're more than an employee - you're part of a community that believes in empowerment, inclusion, and compassion. We provide thorough training, ongoing support, and a workplace where you're truly valued.

If you're ready to make a lasting difference while building a career full of purpose and heart - we want to meet you!
