Description:Make a Real Impact – Join Our Team as a Support Partner!


At Values Into Action, we partner with people with intellectual and developmental disabilities to design and live their best lives as active members of their communities. We believe in inclusion, respect, and self-determination—and we’re looking for team members who share these values.


What You’ll Do As a Support Partner, you’ll work one-on-one with a person in their home and community. Your role is about partnership, not “doing for”—you’ll support with daily living activities, community engagement, and personal goals. This includes:

  • Transportation using a wheelchair-accessible van
  • Medication administration and healthcare appointments
  • Household tasks like shopping and cleaning
  • Supporting technology use (iPads, laptops, Alexa)
  • Encouraging community involvement and recreation

Schedule

  • Full-time or part-time position available!

Monday & Tuesday: 3PM - 11PM


OR

What We’re Looking For

  • Creative, patient, and professional team members
  • Strong communication skills
  • Ability to support someone in living a self-directed life

Pay

  • $21/hour

Our Commitment Values Into Action is an equal opportunity employer and a disability rights organization. We welcome and strive to advance individuals from diverse backgrounds who share our values of inclusion, respect, and social justice.

Requirements:
  • A high school diploma or GED
  • 18 years of age or older
  • at least 1 year experience supporting people to live in the community
  • current CPR/First Aid/AED certification preferred
  • CNA preferred but not required
  • must have valid driver's license with clean driving record
  • must be creative in the community
