We have opportunities for Live-in Assistants!
Live-in Caregivers are people who choose to live in a L'Arche home. They share life with adults who have intellectual disabilities (the “core members” of the community). They offer hands-on assistance with activities of daily life, finances, and health care. Live-ins participate in community life, retreats, and celebrations.
Note: For this position, the candidate will LIVE and sleep in one of our homes. This job is like any other job consisting of 40 hours a week (Full-time) with two consecutive days off. You are not required to work overnight. You can do as you choose during your free time.
