Job Description

ResCare Community Living, part of the Sevita family, is a respected provider of quality services aimed at empowering individuals, enhancing their independence, and enabling people to live fulfilling lives. Since its establishment in 1974, ResCare has been dedicated to supporting individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities, helping them to live more independently both at home and within their communities. Sevita, as the parent organization, stands as a leading provider of home and community-based specialized healthcare, serving over 50,000 individuals across the United States with a workforce of 40,000 team members. Their mission is founded on the belief that everyone deserves a full and independent life, regardless of the challenges they face. They emphasize personalized, person-centered services that foster skills development, overcome challenges, and promote eventual independence and self-fulfillment.

The Caregiver role at Sevita is more than just a job; it is an opportunity to make a tangible difference in the lives of individuals by supporting their growth, learning, and overall well-being. This position involves assisting participants with daily personal hygiene, developmental goals such as budgeting, exercise, and nutrition, and helping them fully engage in community activities that they enjoy. Caregivers develop meaningful relationships built on trust, ownership, and respect, and they play a vital role in offering support tailored to meet complex needs, including behavioral challenges that some individuals may exhibit. The organization fosters a supportive environment where caregivers are empowered to take initiative and act in the best interests of those they serve.

This full-time position offers competitive pay starting at $15.15 hourly with a Pay on Demand feature. Employees are provided with a comprehensive benefits package including health insurance, dental insurance, and a 401(k) plan with a 3% company match. Paid time off and holiday pay support caregiving staff in maintaining a healthy work-life balance. Sevita prioritizes job security, learning, and development by investing in training and providing supervisors who are dedicated to both participant safety and employee well-being. Joining Sevita means becoming part of a stable and growing company that values its workforce and strives to create a fulfilling, meaningful career for each team member. As an equal opportunity employer, Sevita embraces diversity and inclusivity at every level of the organization.
