ACT provides Supported Living Services to adults with developmental disabilities throughout the county of San Diego. These are in-home support programs to provide training, assistance, and support in all aspects of daily home and life care. Such areas of training are budgeting, cooking, menu planning, grocery shopping, cleaning, scheduling/attending medical appointments, assisting with accessing community resources and maintaining state or county benefits, responding to incoming correspondence and maintaining a file system, resolving personal conflicts, or other areas as needed by our clients.
In Supported Living, the scale of support depends on the individual's needs, and so can go up to 24 hour care and potentially involve caregiving aspects such as assistance with dressing, bathing, toileting.
We currently have open shifts for 8am to 4pm on Fridays and Saturdays, 4pm to midnight each weekday, and midnight to 8am on the weekends. Overtime is an option for those looking for additional hours. Shifts, once they are established, generally remain the same each week as we find that consistency works best for the clients and staff.
Prior experience working with developmental disabilities is required, or experience in a relatable capacity such as caregiving or nursing. Relevant education in human services/social work will be considered as well. Reliable personal transportation is required and mileage is reimbursed.
Medical insurance benefit is a provided option to full-time staff.
