WHO ARE WE?

Strategies to Empower People is a 100% employee-owned company that operates in the Greater Sacramento area, North Bay area, and other parts of central California We have been providing services to adults with Intellectual and/or Developmental Disabilities (I/DD) since 1994 and are the largest provider of our type in the area

WHAT IS THE JOB?

The Behavioral Support Staff works one-on-one with an adult who has an Intellectual and/or Developmental Disability who also needs experienced staff to support with consistent, high behavioral challenges or medical challenges. The clients we support live in their own homes - no group homes, and no locked facilities

The Behavioral Support Staff's job is to provide direction and hands-on support with any and all needs our clients have, but the Behavioral Support Staff is not a butler The goal is for our clients to engage in all parts of their lives, and the Behavioral Support Staff is responsible for making sure that even though our clients may need someone to help them with eating, cleaning, bathing, or toileting, that they themselves are still taking part in those activities

SCHEDULE

Behavioral Support Staff are hired with specific set schedules, which makes planning the rest of your life around work easier The people we support need 24/7 care so we have a variety of full-time schedules.

The rate of pay for the Behavioral Support Staff ranges between $23 to $25 per hour dependent upon verifiable, related experience with behavioral supports. This information is reviewed during the application and interview process by our Human Resources team.

JOB REQUIREMENTS

Our Behavioral Support Staff position requires at least six months of verifiable experience working with people who have regular behavioral challenges. Experience beyond six months is reviewed in relation to wage offered.

The Behavioral Support Staff role also requires driving which means we require a valid California Driver License, current auto insurance, and clean & reliable vehicle.
