Job Description - Community Support Mentor (Respite & Networking)
The Mission
Do you believe that everyone deserves a vibrant social life and a supportive home environment? We are looking for a Community Support Mentor to join our team. This isn’t a "sit and watch" kind of job. You’ll be the bridge between our clients and their communities, acting as a coach, a companion, and a professional "wingman" for navigating life.
The Two Sides of the Role
Your day-to-day will focus on two primary service areas:
Service Area
What You’ll Be Doing
In-Home Respite
Providing high-quality care within the client's home. You’ll help with daily routines, engage in hobbies, and provide primary caregivers with the peace of mind they need to recharge.
Community Networking
Getting out there! You’ll help clients identify interests (like clubs, sports, or volunteering), attend local events together, and build the social skills needed for lasting independence.
What You’ll Actually Do
Be a Social Architect: Help clients discover local events, classes, or groups that align with their passions.
Provide Meaningful Respite: Create a safe, fun, and engaging environment at home—whether that’s playing board games, meal prepping together, or simply hanging out.
Bridge the Gap: Actively facilitate introductions and interactions in the community until the client feels confident doing it solo.
Documentation: Keep brief, clear notes on progress and goals (nothing fancy, just the facts).
Who You Are
Relationally Minded: You’re a "people person" who knows how to build trust and maintain professional boundaries.
Adaptive: You can read the room. You know when to step in and help and when to step back and let the client lead.
Reliable: Our families and clients count on you. Consistency is your middle name.
Resourceful: You know your way around the local community (or you’re a pro at using Google to find the coolest local spots).
The Must-Haves:
A valid Driver’s License and reliable transportation (for those community outings!).
Ability to pass a background check.
Current CPR/First Aid certification (or a willingness to get it—we can help).
High school diploma or equivalent.
Why Join Us?
Flexible Scheduling: Perfect for students or those looking for meaningful supplemental income.
Work That Matters: You aren't just filling a shift; you’re helping someone build a life they love.
Supportive Culture: We don’t just drop you in the deep end. You’ll have the training and backup you need to succeed.
How to Apply
If you’re ready to trade the office cubicle for the local community and make a tangible difference, we want to meet you.
