Job Description

Shared Living Provider

Shared Living Providers (SLPs) at Nexus are independent contractors who offer residential support in their own homes for individuals with developmental disabilities. If you're seeking a fulfilling career where you can contribute to positive outcomes for others, our Shared Living Provider program might be the perfect fit for you.

The primary duty of an SLP is to maintain a safe and healthy home environment for the individuals they support. This involves basic home support and related responsibilities, such as:

  • Providing and supporting nutritional meals.
  • Offering transportation to appointments, day services, and recreational activities.
  • Facilitating access to community activities, cultural, and religious services as appropriate.
  • Providing up to 24-hour supervision and support as outlined in the individual's Individual Support Plan (ISP).

The daily home routine should be based on the individual's preferences but structured in a way that is determined by the Individual and ISP team, aiding the individual in learning to function independently in both home and community settings. The SLP is also responsible for teaching and supporting the individual's life choices, hopes, and dreams, as well as documenting this teaching daily.

Individuals with developmental disabilities are matched with trained Shared Living Providers who share similar interests and hobbies. Factors such as the size of the home, family composition (including kids and pets), and the home's location all influence whether the individual and their family are interested in meeting a potential candidate.

Complete the application to begin the Family Study process for consideration.

Requirements:

  • Transportation, valid driver's license, car insurance, and current registration.
  • Ability to pass State/Federal and APS/CPS background checks (for all members in the home).
  • Experience supporting individuals with developmental disabilities.
  • Access to a computer/laptop, printer, scanner, and internet for daily documentation.
  • Completion of all required trainings.
  • Strong verbal/written communication and computer skills.
  • Compliance with all agency and state policies and procedures.
  • Attendance and participation in all meetings.
  • Maintenance of a clean and orderly home.
  • High school diploma or GED.
  • At least 19 years of age.
  • Physical ability to lift 50 pounds, kneel, twist, reach, crawl, run, etc.
