SEEKING RESIDENTIAL COUNSELORS
In our Palmer Program in Palmer– for people with Brain Injuries

If you enjoy bringing out the best in people and are up for a challenge and the rewards that come with it, consider joining ServiceNet’s extraordinary residential team.

We are now accepting applications for a brand new residential program we will be opening in Palmer. This program is scheduled to open in October 2017. We are looking for applicants who have previous personal care or nursing assistant knowledge, as well as experience working with individuals with brain injuries.

This position assists residents with personal care (bathing, dressing, and eating); drive them to appointments, on errands, and to community events; help with their exercise programs; play games; work on projects; and share time outside. As a member of the care team, you’d help prepare meals, clean, do laundry, and help keep the home pleasant and comfortable. You’d also complete daily reports about residents’ progress, and would help assure their safety around the clock.

TRAINING AND QUALIFICATIONS
We provide the same level of care in our homes that we’d want for anyone we love. We pay for your orientation and training to obtain certification in First Aid, CPR, the Medication Administration Program (MAP), and Applied Non-Violence. Other requirements of the job include:
• A passion for working with people who are living with a disability.
• Previous experience with brain injuries preferred.
• CNA/PCA experience a plus!
• Basic computer skills.
• Physical ability to perform the requirements of this position.
• A valid driver’s license and acceptable motor vehicle record.
