Why Join Us?
A Place of Grace, Inc. has been serving adults with developmental disabilities in Solano County since 2002 and in San Diego since 2010. With over 20 years of impact in the community and plans for 50% growth in the coming year, we are investing in compassionate, skilled professionals who want to grow their careers while making a lasting difference.
This is not just another caregiving role—it’s the opportunity to join a CPP-designated Enhanced Behavior Support Home (EBSH), where your work truly transforms lives.
What Makes Us Different
At A Place of Grace, we believe in more than just filling shifts; we build lasting relationships. As an RBT/DSP, you’ll work with a consistent team of staff and residents in one home, not constantly rotating between locations. This allows you to build trust, support progress, and celebrate growth over time.
We specialize in supporting adults with developmental disabilities who may be dually diagnosed and have forensic concerns. Our approach is personal, not corporate; we invest in your success as much as the success of those we serve.
