Document services and individual progress
Help create meaningful experiences that align with each person’s goals

Compassionate, reliable, and positive attitude
Valid driver’s license and ability to safely transport individuals when needed
Strong communication and teamwork skills
Human services experience is helpful but not required
High school diploma or equivalent preferred
Why You’ll Love This Role:
✅ No nights, weekends, or holidays
✅ Spend your day in the community, not inside four walls
✅ Build meaningful relationships while making a real impact
✅ Paid training and advancement opportunities
✅ Stable Monday–Friday schedule
✅ Work for one of Western New York’s leading human service organizations
