Looking for a job where you can make a real difference in someone's life?

Home of Guiding Hands is hiring compassionate, dependable people to support adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities as they build independence, learn new skills, and become active members of their communities.

This is not a desk job. Every day is different. You might help someone learn how to budget their money, shop for groceries, cook a meal, attend a community event, volunteer, exercise, or work toward personal goals.

What You'll Do:

• Help adults build everyday life skills and become more independent
• Support clients with budgeting, shopping, cooking, and household tasks
• Accompany clients to appointments, community activities, classes, and volunteer opportunities
• Encourage social connections and community involvement
• Help clients work toward personal goals and celebrate their successes
• Document progress and communicate with the support team
• Travel throughout San Diego or Imperial County to meet clients in their homes and community settings

What We're Looking For:

• At least 18 years old
• High school diploma or GED
• Valid California driver's license and reliable vehicle
• Good driving record with at least 2 years of driving experience
• Comfortable using email, text messages, and basic online systems
• Strong communication and relationship-building skills
• Reliable, organized, and able to work independently

Bonus Points For:

• Experience supporting people with disabilities, special needs, seniors, youth, or other vulnerable populations
• Volunteer, caregiving, education, behavioral health, or social services experience

Why Join Home of Guiding Hands?

• Flexible part-time schedule
• Paid training
• CPR/First Aid training provided
• Meaningful work that makes a difference
• Great experience for careers in social work, psychology, education, healthcare, human services, and behavioral health

At Home of Guiding Hands, our mission is simple: Improving the lives of those we serve.
