Why work with us:

  • Assisting participants in their homes with tasks such as budgeting, meal planning, hygiene practices, and activities of daily living (ADLs)
  • Providing opportunities for the participant to develop socialization/interpersonal communication skills and practice self-regulation/coping techniques
  • Providing hands-on training, observation, and evaluation of the participant's household tasks and assisting with further development
  • Advocating for participants' inclusion in the community and empowering them to exercise their rights
  • Use BuildAbility's digital program to log the individual's progress and performance

Schedule:

  • Part-time
  • hours per week
  • Mornings to evenings
  • Hours assigned are subject to change weekly based on availability

Work location:

  • Los Angeles Region

Compensation:

  • Starting at $ $21.00/hour (dependent upon prior experience and qualifications)

Part-time Benefits:

  • Paid Sick Time (56 hours)
  • Mileage Reimbursement and Paid Travel Time
  • Employee Assistance Program
  • 403(b) Retirement Savings Plan
  • Opportunity for Career Advancement

Required Qualifications:

  • Strong interpersonal skills and the ability to interact with individuals with disabilities, their family members, employers, and others in a positive and constructive manner
  • High school diploma or GED
  • Must pass a DOJ Live Scan fingerprinting background clearance
  • Valid California Driver's License, automobile insurance, and reliable transportation
  • Willing to travel: up to 75%
  • Proof of two COVID-19 vaccination doses or submit a request for accommodation based upon a medical condition or deeply held religious belief

Preferred Qualifications:

  • Fluent in Spanish
  • Prior experience supporting individuals with disabilities. If you don't have experience, we will provide on-the-job training. Some of our best staff did not have experience prior to being hired at BuildAbility

BuildAbility is an equal opportunity employer. We are committed to anti-racism, diversity, and inclusion in our workplace environment, stakeholder engagement, and participant support.
We do not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, color, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, age, marital status, veteran status, or disability status.
