Caregiver (707Y) - Southeast Portland, OR

Your heart. Their growth. Make a real difference by supporting individuals with disabilities Position: Caregiver - 707Y Starting Wage: $23.50/hour Schedule: Tuesday and Thursday 11:00am-3:00pm Sunday 3pm - 7pm Location: Southeast Portland, OR, 97216 Client Bio: I’m an adult who is smart, sweet, and funny, with a friendly, mild-mannered personality. I enjoy learning, staying active, and being social, and I value building strong connections with my friends and family. Music—especially hip hop—dancing, shopping, and spending time out in the community are important to me. I appreciate having opportunities to share my thoughts and make my own choices. I do best when routines are broken down into clear, step-by-step instructions and when caregivers are patient, engaging, and give me time to process and express myself. I thrive when I’m encouraged to be independent, supported in ways that feel culturally familiar, and included in meaningful social interactions. At times, when I’m upset or emotionally dysregulated, I may display verbal aggression. I benefit from caregivers who can remain calm, provide reassurance, and use supportive communication strategies to help me regulate and move forward in a positive way. Why Join Us? We go beyond care.
