Mentor Job

Hours: 12 per week
Pay: $19 per hour

I am looking for a female assistant to help me with personal care and going into the community.

The hours I need help are Thursdays, Saturdays and Sundays from 8am to 12pm. There’s a possibility of additional hours.

The position will involve feeding me breakfast, assisting me with stretches, helping me train my dog, and other tasks.

Preferred candidate is responsible, flexible, out going, friendly, efficient, willing to wear a mask, and willing to be a team player. The ability/willingness to serve as back up for other assistants is a plus.

My assistant services are through an agency called Advocates Inc. In order to work for me, you must get on Advocates’ payroll (which takes about a month). You will be finger printed and must pass a criminal and child abuse check, among other things. Because I have no control of this process, we cannot set a definite start date, but my plan is for you to start as soon as possible.

Over 30 years ago, a small group of caring families of people with intellectual and developmental disabilities established Advocates as a resource for education and family support. Today, we are dedicated to empowering individuals and their families to lead meaningful and inclusive lives in our communities. We provide the information, support, and resources that you and your family need to self-direct your services and achieve your goals. Championing the needs of the people we support is at the core of our mission, be it through individual, family, or systems advocacy.
