Love What You Do!

Residential Counselor

We have a great opportunity available to join our growing, stable, and highly regarded organization, where you can obtain valuable human services experience while making a difference in the lives of others!

We provide person-centered supports for individuals with intellectual or developmental disabilities, autism, or acquired brain injury – helping each person learn daily living skills, build meaningful relationships, and become a valued member of their community.

• As a Residential Counselor, you’ll be part of a supportive team that helps individuals:
• Maintain their physical and emotional health and live safely in the community.
• Foster relationships with housemates, family members, and neighbors.
• Develop and practice skills that increase independence, confidence, and self-determination.
• Participate in community activities, work, and volunteer opportunities that reflect their goals and interests.

Your role combines support, supervision, coaching, and companionship. Every interaction is rooted in respect and appreciation for each individual’s uniqueness. You’ll encourage residents to identify their strengths, explore new opportunities, and actualize their hopes and dreams.
