ShareAre you looking for an awesome job where you get to make a difference every day? If so, UCP Oregon might have the perfect job for you! UCP Oregon is an exciting and empowering place to work. We help adults who experience developmental disabilities to live the life of their dreams—whether that’s living independently, working in a great job, or pursuing their interests and hobbies. We’re currently seeking a full-time caregiver “Personal Assistant” who will support a woman who lives in her own apartment in SE Portland and experiences developmental disabilities. She is an optimistic, friendly woman that likes to access the community. She is eager to work with a personal assistant that will value time spent in the community as well as downtime in the home. She likes nature, and enjoys outings to parks, the zoo, shopping at the mall, and the Rose Garden. She loves arts & crafts, and would love her personal assistant to craft with her. Spirituality and family play a large role in her life, and her personal assistant may need to assist her to attend weekly congregation services. She is respectful of all beliefs, and asks that her staff extend the same respect to her. She is friendly and direct, but needs staff to be patient and give her time to fully communicate her thoughts. You will also work together on household chores, cooking, attending medical appointments, and running errands. She needs substantial assistance with showering, dressing, taking medications, shopping, cooking, physical therapy, and using her adaptive equipment. You’ll work two shifts per week totaling 42 hours: 2pm Sunday through 8pm Monday and Friday 8am-8pm. *You’ll also work your regular hours on Agency holidays. Benefits: • $18.00 per hour. • Eligible for overtime pay for hours worked over 40 hours per week. • Holiday pay (double pay for the first 12 hours of any agency holiday shift that you work). • Great medical, vision, prescription, and alternative care coverage (including massage therapy and naturopathy) for employee, spouse/domestic partner, and children. • 3 weeks of paid time off, rising to 4 weeks after 5 years of service at UCP. • Mileage reimbursement if driving for UCP. • 401k retirement plan with up to a 4% employer match. • Fun, casual work environment, with lots of opportunities for advancement and growth, at one of the top-ranked non-profits in Oregon. Requirements: • High school diploma or GED. • Be able to pass our pre-hiring screenings, including a reference check, a physical with a lifting test of 50lbs, and a criminal history background check. • Drivers preferred—if choosing to drive for UCP, you must be at least 18 years old, have a current driver’s license, a reliable personal vehicle, at least two years of driving experience, auto insurance, and a clean driving record. • To meet the client's personal privacy needs, female applicants will be given preference. • Experience in the developmental disability field preferred, but not required. To Apply: • It’s easy to apply! Visit http://www.ucpaorwa.org/careers.html and look for the “Caregiver (DSP) - Optimistic, Friendly Woman (SE Portland)” job opening. Then answer a few fast questions and send a resume and cover letter. • UCP Oregon is an Equal Opportunity Employer, and actively seeks applicants from diverse backgrounds.
