Consistency and routine are key factors in the proven success of these programs. Highly trained Positive Support Specialists will assist individuals both at home and the community to participate in events and activities that are meaningful to the individual.
As a PSS team member, you will also:
Assist individuals to be more independent in performing essential life skills such as meal preparation, personal hygiene and navigating the community.
Advocate for the people supported in areas such as rights, medical care and in the community.
Complete necessary documentation and record-keeping every shift.
Manage crisis situations safely and effectively - this can include potential use of manual restraints. Candidates will receive training for Positive Behavioral Supports and manual restraints in conjunction with the 245D requirements.
Engage in trauma-informed care daily.

An ALIVE Workplace that is Supportive, Positive, Healthy, and Fun!
A workplace that embraces diversity.
An outstanding reputation.
Requirements:
Strong interpersonal skills with the ability to work with a variety of individuals.
Must physically be able to stand, squat, bend, or walk for long periods of time. The ability to lift 50 lbs. is necessary.
Knowledge of local community resources is a plus.
Must be cleared by a Bureau of Criminal Affairs (BCA) background study and have a driver's license - a Motor Vehicle Check (MVR) is also required.
