A valid driver's license and good driving record
Ability to pass background checks, drug testing, and required training (CPR, First Aid, Medication Administration)
Strong communication and teamwork skills
Ability to read, write, and follow instructions in English

You'll Be a Great Fit If You:

Can stay calm in emergencies and think on your feet
Are a natural leader who others look to for help and support
Want to make a real difference every day
Enjoy working in a team and supporting others' success

Physical Requirements: You'll need to be able to lift up to 50 pounds, go up and down stairs, and stay on your feet for most of your shift.

Work Environment: You'll work in a community home where no two days are the same. The environment is active but welcoming, and we'll count on you to help keep things safe, clean, and supportive for everyone.
