    Are you an enthusiastic teacher with a heart for making a real difference in someone’s life? Do you love empowering others to thrive and integrate into their community? If so, this might just be your dream role!

    Join us as a Life Skills Coach for a vibrant 61-year-old woman who is a proud advocate within the Disability Community. As a recent amputee and newcomer to the Trooper, PA area, she’s eager to regain her independence, and you’ll be her guiding star! You'll be her partner in rediscovering everyday joys—whether it's navigating her home, whipping up a delicious meal, or exploring her new neighborhood.

    Here’s what’s in store for you:

    • Full-time opportunities with 3 cozy 12-hour shifts per week (In-Home Community Support at $30/hr and Companion Support at $18/hr equaling a 12 hour shift)

    • Part-time alternating weekend 12 hour shift, available + PRN

    We’re looking for someone who:

    • Is kind-hearted, fun, and brings a calm, positive vibe

    • Loves cats (bonus points for being a cat whisperer!)

    • Has experience and is comfortable with providing personal care support

    • Enjoys thinking on their feet and solving everyday challenges

    • Is motivated by helping someone achieve independence and grow!

    Your role:

    • Be an everyday superhero, providing guidance on life skills like cooking, community mobility, scheduling, and self-care

    • Support her diabetes management and personal care

    • Help her embrace her strengths and take on new challenges

    • Work with a supportive team to ensure her safety and success

    What you bring:

    • A Bachelor’s in Psychology, Education, Special Education, Recreational Therapy, or Social Work

    • At least 6 months of experience in amputee care and working with diabetes

    • A genuine love for empowering others and a joyful, respectful attitude

    This isn’t just a job; it’s an opportunity to build a meaningful connection and make a lasting impact. If you’re ready to bring joy, compassion, and a little adventure to someone’s life, we’d love to hear from you!
