This role involves caring for a client on an individual basis in their home environment and taking them out into the community to learn skills and socialize.

Family Relief Resources is not a physical facility -100% of activities happen in the community or a client’s home.
Staff can choose how many clients to work with and can collaborate with the families to create a weekly schedule. We need enthusiastic, patient, caring, creative and dependable support workers that are ready to make a difference and integrate into their client’s family with love and kindness.

* Documenting. Must keep specific progress notes weekly.
