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.

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.
