Caregiver And Care Manager

Your job will be to ensure that our delightful son who is 36 and on the spectrum receives the best possible care and companionship. Adam’s sweetness and loving spirit tend to attract the finest caregivers who often stay for many years.

While Adam will treat you well, so will we (his parents). We provide bonuses, raises and paid time off (for full-time staff) and we’ll be very responsive to any needs you may have. To the extent possible, we’ll schedule the hours that best suit you - any day, sometime between 2 PM to midnight and/or midnight to 6 AM. Please note that you’ll need to work both day and some night hours if you’re interested in working more than 25 hours/week.

Key requirements for the job include:

- Having a very warm, engaging, and caring manner

- Some care giving experience

- Good physical condition to handle long walks and pool activities

Your duties will include:

- Provide scheduled direct care/companionship

- Fill-in for absent caregivers (at $30/hr) at times that you specify

- Ensure Adam’s safety by being attentive at all times

- Actively engage Adam and develop a nurturing bond

- Obtain an overview of Adam’s care plan and services

- Help refine and expand Adam’s care and activity program

Afternoon/evening activities with Adam will include walks, going to the pool or beach, shopping trips, indoor games and puzzles, and listening to live music and other in-town activities.

If you work nights, the bedtime routine will begin with a bath after which you'll monitor Adam until he goes to sleep. Then you can relax or engage in an on-line or other activity while continuing to monitor Adam.

If you are a really good fit and can take on more responsibility over time you could become the lead Care Manager and your pay will increase substantially.

We will be happy to answer any questions you may have. Thanks much for considering our position!
