The purpose of respite care is to give the parent or primary caregiver a break from the daily responsibilities of caring for a child or adult with a disability.

Flexible hours! You set your own schedule working directly with families and can work from home after initial trainings. Will need to be available for some evenings, weekends and hours that family would like to use respite. This position is great for college students, builds experience, and it is great for someone looking to give back or have a little extra supplemental income. Consistent communication required.

Your schedule will be dependent upon the family's need and your desire to serve.

QUALIFICATIONS

Qualified applicants will have a high school diploma or GED. Experience working with people with disabilities preferred, but not required. Must be proficient in computer skills and have access to a computer or tablet and internet to complete documentation.
