Why Join Us?
A Place of Grace, Inc. has been serving adults with developmental disabilities across Northern California since 2002 and in San Diego since 2010. With over 20 years of impact in the community and plans for 50% growth in the coming year, we are investing in compassionate, skilled professionals who want to grow their careers while making a lasting difference.
This is not just another caregiving role; it’s the opportunity to join a CPP-designated Enhanced Behavior Support Home (EBSH) where your work truly transforms lives.
Our Core Beliefs
- Everyone Is Valuable – Every person has inherent worth and unique abilities. We build a culture of respect, dignity, and compassion.
- Everyone Has Potential – With the right support, every individual can grow and thrive.
- Everyone Shares Responsibility – Through teamwork and accountability, we create thriving, supportive environments for residents and staff alike.
Our mission is to provide high-quality care and structured support for adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities by hiring and developing caring, dedicated professionals.
What Makes Us Different
At A Place of Grace, we believe in more than just filling shifts—we build lasting relationships. As an RBT/DSP, you will work with a consistent team of staff at one home, not constantly rotating between locations. This allows you to truly get to know your clients, support their progress, and celebrate their growth over time.
Our approach is personal, not corporate. We value each member of our team as an individual, and we invest in your success just as much as we invest in the success of those we serve. Here, you’re not just coming to work, you’re helping create a home.
