Job description

About the Role

As a Community Support Specialist, you'll empower individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities to live more independently and achieve personal goals. You'll provide hands-on training and support in real-life settings-whether at home, in the community, or at program sites-helping people build skills, confidence, and connections

What You'll Do

  • Support independence: Teach daily living skills like cooking, budgeting, and using public transportation.
  • Create opportunities: Help individuals access community resources, recreational activities, and meaningful connections.
  • Implement personalized plans: Follow each person's Individual Service Plan (ISP) and adapt activities to meet their goals.
  • Document progress: Complete accurate daily notes, timesheets, and reports for compliance and quality care.
  • Promote safety and dignity: Ensure health, well-being, and respect for individual rights at all times.
  • Communicate and collaborate: Work closely with families, coordinators, and team members to share updates and address needs.
  • Provide transportation using your own vehicle: Safely transport individuals to appointments, activities, and community outings as needed. Mileage reimbursement is provided.
  • Stay flexible: Work at different sites and with individuals who have unique needs-every day is different!

What Makes You a Great Fit

  • Caring, dependable, and passionate about helping others.
  • Strong communication and organizational skills.
  • Comfortable with physical tasks (lifting up to 50 lbs, bending, reaching).
  • Valid NYS driver's license and clean driving record.
  • High School diploma or GED.
  • Experience with individuals with developmental disabilities (1 year preferred, or 6 months with specialized training).
  • Willing to complete certifications like First Aid/CPR and Medication Administration

Why Join Us?

  • Competitive pay: $18.50 per hour
  • Flexible scheduling to fit your life
  • Opportunity to transition to Full-Time
  • Comprehensive training and career growth opportunities
  • Make a real difference in the lives of others
