Job Description

ResCare Community Living, a division of Sevita, is dedicated to empowering individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities by providing high-quality, person-centered services. Since 1974, ResCare Community Living has been committed to helping people live more independently at home and within their communities. As part of Sevita, a leader in specialized health care with over 40,000 team members serving 50,000 individuals nationwide, ResCare benefits from extensive resources and a mission-driven approach to enhancing lives. Sevita’s longstanding commitment to innovation and excellence in care enables ResCare to deliver support that truly makes a meaningful difference for those they serve, helping individuals build skills, overcome obstacles, and reach their full potential.

This caregiver role at Sevita offers a unique opportunity for compassionate individuals to thrive in a rewarding position that deeply impacts others' lives every day. Caregivers support participants through hands-on assistance with personal hygiene, developmental goals such as budgeting, exercise, and nutrition, and by facilitating their engagement in community activities aligned with their interests. This role requires patience, compassion, and reliability, as caregivers frequently support people who may experience behavioral challenges and other complex needs. The work fosters meaningful relationships and provides a sense of pride in helping people grow, learn, and live well.

Sevita values its caregivers by offering competitive pay with access to pay on demand, comprehensive benefits including health coverage and a 401(k) plan with company match, paid time off and holiday pay, and strong support networks through attentive supervisors. Emphasis is placed on professional development, with investments in training and tools to foster long-term, fulfilling caregiving careers. Working at Sevita means enjoying job security within a stable and growing organization renowned for its dedication to quality and inclusivity.

This role is ideal for individuals who have at least a high school diploma or equivalent and a minimum of six months’ experience in human services, direct care, or care coordination preferred. Essential skills include clear communication, adaptability, multitasking, teamwork, and effective time management. Candidates are expected to demonstrate patient, compassionate, reliable, and responsible behaviors. A valid driver’s license and access to a registered vehicle with proof of insurance are required to support participants in their community activities.

Joining Sevita means becoming part of a company with a powerful mission to advance independence and quality of life for individuals facing physical, intellectual, or behavioral challenges. ResCare Community Living aims to ensure every participant enjoys the opportunity to live a full and enriching life, supported by a dedicated team that cares deeply about each individual’s well-being and success.
