Are you looking for new challenges in the field of direct support? Do you have experience working with challenging behaviors and looking for a place to put your skills to the test? Then continue reading! WHAT IS THE JOB? The Behavioral Support Staff works one-on-one with an adult who has an Intellectual and/or Developmental Disability who also needs experienced staff to support with consistent, high behavioral challenges or medical challenges. The clients we support live in their own homes - no group homes, and no locked facilities! The Behavioral Support Staff's job is to provide direction and hands-on support with any and all needs our clients have, but the Behavioral Support Staff is not a butler! The goal is for our clients to engage in all parts of their lives, and the Behavioral Support Staff is responsible for making sure that even though our clients may need someone to help them with eating, cleaning, bathing, or toileting, that they themselves are still taking part in those activities! SCHEDULE Behavioral Support Staff are hired with specific set schedules, which makes planning the rest of your life around work easier! The people we support need 24/7 care so we have a variety of full-time schedules. The rate of pay for the Behavioral Support Staff ranges between $23 to $27 per hour dependent upon verifiable, related experience with behavioral supports. This information is reviewed during the application and interview process by our Human Resources team. LOCATION Our Behavioral Support Staff provide support in Solano County and work in the home and in the community of the person they're supporting, so the work is done... where our clients live and play! One of the biggest goals is making sure that our clients' behavioral challenges don't stop them from engaging with their community - getting out of the home and into the world is part of the job as well! JOB REQUIREMENTS Our Behavioral Support Staff position requires at least six months of verifiable experience working with people who have regular behavioral challenges. Experience beyond six months is reviewed in relation to wage offered. The Behavioral Support Staff role also requires driving which means we require a valid California Driver License, current auto insurance, and clean & reliable vehicle. Aside from the nuts and bolts of the job we are looking for energetic staff who base THEIR success on the success of others. Patience, adaptability and creativity are musts for this position - maintaining a positive attitude and not being afraid to advocate for the clients we support is important! WHO ARE WE?

We believe that every moment has potential, and we work tirelessly to ensure the people we serve are given every opportunity to be as independent as possible in their homes and in their communities. No two people we serve are alike so we are looking for employees who are adaptive, creative, and who thrive on the success of others! WHY WORK HERE? Aside from being a 100% employee owned company, Strategies to Empower People has a lot of additional benefits for our employees!
