Shared Living Provider (Home Based)
About the role
Our Shared Living Program seeks individuals and families willing to share their home or apartment and provide support for an adult with an intellectual disability or autism. Shared living providers develop strong, supportive, often roommate or family-like relationships with the individual in their home—all while making a real, lasting impact in your community. With a reputation built on "going the distance," Spurwink has the experience and clinical expertise to help both providers and individuals experience success.
Spurwink provides a laptop computer and printer/scanner/copier to support providers in completing documentation in our Electronic Medical Record. This is a contracted position, not an employed position.
Pay
Shared living providers receive a generous tax-free stipend for their services plus additional payment for room and board. The daily rate is $130.00.
