To work for Living Resources is to make a difference in the lives of others. Living Resources provides individuals with disabilities and special needs the support they need to thrive and lead active, full lives. For many Living Resources employees, their work becomes an experience where they find fulfillment and develop both personally and professionally.

We understand that working one-on-one with people who have disabilities, helping them in all aspects of daily life, takes a special person - someone who's dedicated, caring, patient and compassionate. Our employees find a sense of purpose in their work, knowing they're providing peace of mind to families.

The County Manager will assist the Director for Day Services Operations, the Assistant Director of Day Community Opportunities Program and the county Day Habilitation Coordinator in the delivery of the Day Community Opportunities Program (DCOP) services to all county participants. Duties include, but are not limited to the management and/or administration of all program specific systems, policies and procedures, and the supervision of Day Opportunities Specialists (DOS). To carry out these duties, it is important that the County Manager be a positive role model for the individuals we support and co-workers, be a diligent and accurate record keeper, be prepared to offer constructive guidance as needed, and attend and support all agency and department trainings. Because of the need to interact frequently with families and high visibility in the community, the County Manager must be an effective communicator.
