Live In Adam Eve Jobs in Longview, WA (NOW HIRING)

Adam's Place is seeking experienced Direct Support Professionals who are calm, confident, and resilient - individuals who can support adults with developmental disabilities in both everyday life and high-behavior situations.

We currently have urgent openings in two high-behavior homes. These roles involve supporting individuals who may display physical and assaultive behaviors. Candidates must be comfortable working in these environments and able to remain composed, follow training, and respond appropriately.

One of these Programs does offer a permanent $1.00/hour exceptional supports differential, and currently, as we are supporting around some circumstantial increases in behaviors, there is a $2.00/hour additional temporary exceptional supports differential that will continue until the home is more stabilized. This is a single client home, so most shifts are single staffed after training period. Applications MUST have experience working with physical assaultive behaviors.

Bonus Program

We are currently offering a hiring bonus for our high behavior programs:

* First payday after completing training and working independently** at either of our high-behavior homes for two weeks: $250

* 90 days after becoming fully independent**: $500

* 6 months after becoming fully independent**: $1,000

* 1 year after becoming fully independent**: $2,000

Eligibility is subject to continued employment and satisfactory performance.

** In order to be considered fully independent, new hires must complete Safety & Orientation, complete fingerprinting, and complete 80 hours of program-specific training, unless signed off by QAT based on demonstrated competency and ability to perform duties independently.

Who We Are

It is the mission of Adam's Place to create a culture of warmth and belonging to individuals with disabilities in their home & community. We will strive towards increasing quality of life by providing tools and resources to assist individuals to be the best me' they can be. We will have lots of fun and laughter in our journey together.
