Residential Program Staff: Fun, Active, Rewarding Job

"Find a job you enjoy doing, and you will never have to work a day in your life" – Confucius

Abilities Midwest recently expanded in the River Falls area and we are excited to be hiring a part time Residential Program Staff. This staff will support adult individuals with Prader Willi syndrome at an Adult Family Home (AFH/residential group home) in River Falls, close to UWRF.

Job Duties:

Residential Program Staff are primarily responsible for assisting our residents with activities of daily living (ADLs). The residents being supported have minimal hands-on needs, so it will mainly be providing verbal prompting for most ADLs. Our residents are active and enjoy going on outings, playing games, working out, and being positive members of their community.

• Encourage community involvement by accompanying residents to a variety of community activities including, but not limited to - restaurants, sports games, movies, shopping, plays, and more!
• Provide cues to remind and encourage residents to complete household chores & personal care needs.
• Implement reward systems and provide praise to residents.
• Follow care plans, contribute to discussions on resident progress & future care plan goals.
• Provide accurate documentation using our online based care management system.
• Promote choice, personal growth, and independence for residents - within their home and the community.
• Communicate effectively with other team members and encourage an upbeat work environment for all.

Residential Program Staff will work alongside other Residential Program Staff, in addition to working under the supervision of our management team. Abilities Midwest strives to ensure a welcoming & positive work environment - where our staff can enjoy coming to work.

Schedule:

We are currently offering part time opportunities including Wednesday morning and every other weekend. Availability to pick up shifts, as needed, is helpful but not mandatory.
