Avant Supported Living is a support provider agency in Missouri that's shaking things up. We're committed to creating a rich community that emphasizes collaboration, self-advocacy, ambitious goal setting, and creative independent living options. We're not about "care;" we're about empowerment. We provide a range of services, including:

• The Professional Host Network: Think of it as a micro-community where individuals thrive with the support of highly skilled hosts.

• Remote Supports: Using enabling technology to maximize independence.

The Evening Role:

As a Part-Time Mentor during weekend, your working hours will be flexible evening shifts on Saturdays and Sundays, typically between 4 PM and 12 AM. You'll be on the front lines during the later hours, working directly with individuals to help them achieve their goals and live fulfilling lives into the night. This isn't just a job; it's a calling that extends beyond the typical workday. You'll be a role model, a coach, and a champion for evening independence and well-being.

• Empowerment: Foster self-determination by supporting individuals in making their own choices and shaping their lives.


• Innovate: Bring creative problem-solving to the table and be willing to explore new ways of doing things.


• Build Community: Facilitate connections, build supportive networks, and promote a sense of belonging.


• Advocate: Be a strong voice, challenge barriers, and promote inclusion.


• Grow: Commit to your own continuous learning and professional development. 


• Radiate Resilience: Approach challenges with optimism, perseverance, and a focus on solutions. 
   

WHAT YOU BRING:

• Passion: A genuine desire to make a positive impact in people's lives.


• Authenticity: You’re real, transparent, and value-driven.


• Creativity: You think outside the box and aren't afraid to try new things.


• Resilience: You're able to bounce back from challenges and maintain a positive outlook.  


• Strong Communication Skills: You can connect with people, build trust, and collaborate effectively.
  


• Bonus Points: Experience in a related field, but we value heart and drive above all else.

Why Avant?

• Purpose: You'll be part of a team that's truly changing lives.


• Growth: We invest in our employees and provide opportunities for advancement.
  


• Culture: We're a tight-knit team that supports each other and celebrates successes.
