Job Description:
Job DescriptionStarting at $18/hr. PLUS a $1,000 sign on
bonusWhat is this job all about? In this position, you will change
lives. Your goal is to be an encourager and mentor to adults with
developmental disabilities as they decide how they want to live
their lives, spend their time, and develop their talents. The level
of support varies from individual to individual, but the mission is
the same: serve others so they can direct their own lives as
independent, valued members of their community.Thats nice, but what
will I actually be doing?As a Behavior Support Technician, you will
provide training and supports to individuals served in dressing,
bathing, personal hygiene, house cleaning, laundry, and other
activities of daily living. Youll assist with the purchasing of
groceries, train in food preparation, administer medications, and
assist in the management of personal funds. Youll get to help
implement personal plans (the story of the individual youre serving
including their history, goals, and achievements). And youll
contribute to the development and maintenance of a therapeutic
environment (keeping their houses happy and cozy).What will I get
out of it?This job doesnt feel like a job. It feels like spending
time with people you care about, helping them move toward the life
they want for themselves. It feels like making a difference every
single shift, and going home at the end of the day knowing you made
someones life better.Youll also get to work for a company that
cares about your goals. The Arc of the Ozarks strives to help you
develop as an individual through paid-trainings, internal
promotions, and the constant support of supervisors who have been
in your shoes. You will have a whole team around you to work with,
learn from, and grow beside. And at the heart of it, you get to
know that the world is a better place because of you.
