Respite Worker ( In Home)

We’re TERI, one of San Diego’s largest and most successful non-profit organizations offering educational and residential services to children and adults with developmental disabilities, in the North San Diego area. We’re seeking entry-level support professionals who will work one-on-one and in groups with our clients of all ages.

Are you a recent high school graduate wondering what’s beyond flipping burgers or working retail? Have you considered a supporting role in the healthcare field because you want to help others lead a great quality of life? Perhaps you volunteered in a hospital during high school or did some babysitting or tutoring? Have you helped care for a sibling, a parent, or a grandparent? Maybe you earned a degree or took some behavioral, social work, or psychology classes at a community college? Do you have a burning desire to be part of an organization that helps others and makes a difference in people’s lives?

These experiences provide the foundation for the success of our Direct Support Professionals. If this sounds like you, now is the time to take action on the next step in your career. Join us and let TERI lead the way.

You’re the type of individual that is at the heart and soul of TERI. If being part of a mission-oriented organization instead of a profit-driven retailer or restaurant interests you, we would like to meet you. We have one of the most innovative and successful staff training programs in our field. All you need to do is bring that deep-rooted desire to care, support, and help others grow. We’ll take care of the rest.
