Job Description

ResCare Community Living, a part of the Sevita family, is a well-established provider of quality services designed to empower individuals, enhance their independence, and help people live well. Since 1974, ResCare has been dedicated to supporting individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities to lead more independent lives both at home and within their communities. With decades of experience and a compassionate, dedicated team, ResCare provides person-centered services tailored to help each individual build life skills, face challenges head-on, and achieve their full potential. The organization emphasizes meaningful relationships, respect, and personalized care, positioning itself as a leading player in the field of developmental disability services.

Sevita, the parent company, is a prominent provider of home and community-based specialized health care. With more than 50 years of commitment and innovation, Sevita supports over 50,000 individuals across the United States with a team of approximately 40,000 employees. Sevita strongly believes that every person deserves a full and independent life, regardless of any physical, intellectual, or behavioral challenges they may face. The company’s mission focuses on individualized support and high-quality care, fostering growth and independence for those they serve.

This caregiver position with ResCare Community Living offers an hourly pay rate of $9 and is a remarkable opportunity for individuals who are compassionate, patient, and motivated to make a meaningful difference in people's lives. As a caregiver at Sevita, you will engage in rewarding work helping individuals grow, learn, and live well. This role involves assisting with personal hygiene, supporting individuals with behavioral challenges, and helping participants work towards developmental goals such as budgeting, exercise, and nutrition. You will also play a vital role in fostering community inclusion by encouraging participation in favorite activities and helping individuals build autonomy.

The organization provides a supportive work environment where caregivers develop real, meaningful relationships with those they serve. Leadership trusts caregivers to take initiative and make decisions that are in the best interest of participants. This is more than a job—it’s a career where you can experience the satisfaction of supporting people’s independence and well-being daily.

Beyond the meaningful work, ResCare Community Living offers a competitive pay structure with pay on demand, a comprehensive benefits package for full-time employees including a 401(k) plan with a 3% company match, paid time off plus holiday pay, and a stable job within a growing, reputable company. The company invests heavily in learning and development, providing the tools and training necessary for employees to grow in their careers. Supervisors at Sevita deeply care about both the participants’ welfare and their employees’ personal and professional well-being.

As an equal opportunity employer, ResCare and Sevita are committed to diversity and inclusion. They provide a respectful workplace free from discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex (including pregnancy, sexual orientation, or gender identity), national origin, age, disability, genetic information, veteran status, citizenship, or any other legally protected characteristic.

This role is ideal for those who are looking to join a mission-driven organization that values compassion, responsibility, and patient care. Applying for this position means joining a team that believes in quality of life and independence for all and offers a promising career path where your efforts make a tangible difference every day.
