If making a positive impact in the lives of others is always on your to-do list -- you'll LOVE working with a team that puts people first.

What you'll do in this role:

  • Assist with the development of important daily living skills and life activities by creating an environment where people can learn, grow and discover;
  • Help people identify and achieve the goals most important to them in order to live their best life possible;
