Job Description

ResCare Community Living, a part of the Sevita family, has been a leader in providing quality services to individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities since 1974. As a community-focused organization, ResCare Community Living is dedicated to empowering individuals, enhancing their independence, and helping them live well in their homes and communities. The organization is committed to person-centered services that foster skill-building, overcome challenges, and support clients in reaching their full potential. Sevita, the parent organization, expands this mission nationwide with over 40,000 team members serving approximately 50,000 individuals across the United States. The culture at Sevita and ResCare Community Living emphasizes compassionate care, respect, and dignity for all individuals they support, fostering an environment where employees are trusted, respected, and encouraged to take initiative.

The caregiver role at Sevita offers a rewarding opportunity to make a tangible difference in people's lives daily. As a caregiver, you will work closely with individuals, helping them grow, learn, and live well while developing meaningful relationships based on trust and respect. This role requires compassion, patience, and a genuine desire to support people with complex needs, including those challenged by behavioral and developmental hurdles. Caregivers will assist with personal hygiene and enable participants to partake in community activities, promoting independence in areas such as budgeting, exercise, and nutrition. With a focus on individualized supports, caregivers are encouraged to use their initiative to enrich participants’ lives, supporting their developmental goals and fostering a sense of belonging within the community.

Sevita values its caregivers by offering competitive pay options including Pay on Demand, full benefits packages for full-time employees, and a 401(k) plan with a 3% company match. Employees enjoy paid time off plus holiday pay, job security within a stable and growing company, and a supportive network of supervisors who prioritize the wellbeing of both participants and staff. Continuous learning and professional development opportunities further ensure that caregivers have the tools and training needed to build fulfilling careers. Working at Sevita offers not only a job but a pathway to a meaningful career enriched by impactful connections and personal growth. If you are patient, compassionate, reliable, and motivated by helping others, Sevita invites you to apply and explore a career where your work truly matters.
