Educational Aide/Personal Support Worker for 15 year old disabled boy in Ashland.

$18.11/hour plus excellent medical benefits.

We have an opening for one full time person and one part time person as our amazing team of support folks are transitioning and one is heading off to college and the other is going into student teaching. The job(s) will start in early August and early September. We are looking for very special aides to be of support to a wonderful 15 year old disabled boy named Luke who has Cerebral Palsy. Luke has no cognitive damage, and uses a talk buddy to communicate until you can understand him more easily. I am a single mom and what is really needed is an extra mom/dad around here. (Men should feel comfortable applying!). The job pays $18.11/hour and comes with excellent medical benefits after two months employment and includes vision and dental insurance. You don’t need any experience working with a disabled person. We can train you. What is important is your heart and soul and that you love to help and teach. It is also good if you are in good physical shape. Luke is 5'2” and weighs 95 pounds.

Luke is one of a kind:), has a heart full of gold, a great sense of humor, and will soon be in the 10th grade, where he is in the General Ed classrooms. (He has Quadriplegia CP and needs help with all daily living skills and doing his school work given his orthopedic impairments.) He is madly in love with Taylor Swift, Hamilton, Hairspray and LOVES to dance (mostly on his knees:)) He is fun to be with and many of his caregivers have fallen in love with him:). Luckily he does not have any behavioral challenges.

You must have a reliable car, live in Ashland or close by, love working with teens and have a special heart yourself. I promise you that YOUR heart will never be the same if you work with this guy!

Please send your resume, hours of availability (whether you are interested in full time or part time work) and why you think you would be a good fit for this job. We grow very attached to our caregivers, so please do not apply if you think this would be a short term thing for you. I want to hire someone for at least a year assuming it’s a good fit for us all.

Thank you for your interest and your time! We look forward to hearing from you.
