  • Actively engage residents in learning opportunities that promote independence and daily living skills.
  • Support individuals with complex care needs through compassionate and consistent intervention.
  • Accompany and transport residents to on- and off-campus appointments and recreational activities.
  • Accurately document care provided and report any changes in condition or behavior.

What makes us an employer of choice for Direct Support Professionals? 
  • Excellent Benefits – Qualified staff enjoy comprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage, retirement plans, and generous paid vacation, holidays, and sick leave.
  • Career Development – Take advantage of our onsite Nursing Assistant Registered and Certified (NAC) training programs, along with ongoing professional development opportunities.
  • Extra Earning Potential – Boost your income through available overtime and shift differentials.
  • Growth & Expansion – Join us at an exciting time as we grow and expand our services.
  • Welcoming Environment – Work on a community-focused campus where collaboration is valued, and residents genuinely appreciate your care and presence.

Who should apply? 
  • Professionals with a High School Diploma/GED OR one year of experience working with people with Intellectual/developmental Disabilities.
  • An existing Washington State Nursing Assistant (CNA) certification is a plus but not required.
  
Additional information:
