What are the responsibilities and job description for the Part Time Companion – Make a Difference While Having Fun! position at Community Horizons LLC?
A local family is looking for a warm, energetic, and engaged companion to spend time with a young adult woman in her home, on the north side of Stevens Point.
This is not a traditional caregiving position — it’s an opportunity to build connection, share laughter, and enjoy meaningful, active time together. Most of your time will be spent in active play and social engagement, creating fun, confidence-building experiences that bring joy to her day. This young woman is blind and non-verbal, and she is full of joy and loves to have fun!
If you’re someone who enjoys staying active, being social, and making each moment enjoyable and meaningful, we’d love to hear from you!
This role is part of a self-direction program, meaning you will work directly for the family rather than through an agency. This offers flexibility, a comfortable one-on-one relationship, and the chance to make a personal impact.
If you have a few hours to spare each week and a heart for creating positive, uplifting experiences, we’d love to connect with you!
Pay: $16.66 per hour
Schedule: 15-20 hours per week, typically be afternoons. There is also opportunity for respite/backup hours if it works with your schedule.
What You’ll Be Doing:
· Engage in one-on-one interactions that promote connection and fun
· Encourage social, emotional, and recreational engagement
· Support activities that build confidence and joy
· Provide limited personal cares, including brief changes and feeding/medication assistance.
What You’ll Need:
- A kind heart and a reliable nature
- Experience in supporting individuals with developmental disabilities
- A good communicator who enjoys helping others thrive through active interaction
- Comfortable initiating conversation and activities
- Excited to bring energy, patience, and creativity to every visit
- Willingness to complete a background check
