Imagine The Possibilities 3.0
Family caregiver job in Bettendorf, IA
**Please read the ENTIRE job posting before applying**
**This is an entry-level position, and no prior experience is required. Training will be provided.**
This role operates in a Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) Setting, defined as “medical, social, and supportive services for Iowans with functional, cognitive, and other physical or mental health needs” (Iowa Health & Human Services). Rather than institutionalizing individuals who have these physical and mental health needs, HCBS settings provide these individuals with the opportunity to live and receive services in a way honoring to them and their abilities.
Direct Support Professionals are the heartbeat of what we do at Imagine the Possibilities - empowering people to reach individual achievement across the spectrum of life. If you're passionate about empowering people to reach their goals and help them strive for more, we want you to join our team. As an integral part of the overall care team, you will collaborate with other Direct Support Professionals, Programmers, Supervisors, individuals-served, and their families to ensure the best possible care for those you serve. You will fulfill an individual's behavioral care plan by creatively strategizing the best way for each individual to reach and exceed their goals. Your innovative and impactful solutions and strategies will make the difference for those you serve.
What Winning Looks Like:
While it's not a competition, we do recognize that each person wants to ‘win' at life; and you're a central part of someone else's wins as well as your own! In this role, you'll be responsible to:
Collaborate with the HCBS Supervisor and HCBS Programmer to develop goals for the individual served.
Provide services to individuals based on their unique goals and behavioral care plan. This includes:
o Teaching individuals how to accomplish their goal (rather than completing a task for them).
o Using behavioral strategies that support individuals and address any behaviors that do not lead to their success.
o Motivate and encourage individuals to participate in their behavioral care plans and reach their goals.
o Participate in recreational, community, and social activities with those you serve, honoring the choices of the individual.
o Display and understanding of when it is appropriate to apply rights-restrictions, only as determined by the interdisciplinary team and when indicated in the individual's behavioral care plan.
Provide complete, consistent, and accurate documentation of the individual's progress.
Provide safe environments and instruction to individuals served regarding the practices that will help them reach their goals.
Provide care to individuals that help them present their best selves to the community. This may include helping with hygienic needs, choosing appropriate clothing, administering medication, and ensuring they have food options suitable for their dietary needs.
Be an advocate for individuals receiving services to have as much control over their own lives as possible. All individuals should be treated with respect and should feel empowered to live their life as independently as physically possible.
