As an adult with a physical disability, living independently means that I am supported through a medicare program called IRIS. This program is designed to allow disabled adults to live a full independent life. IRIS pays for personal care workers to provide supportive care in the home and community.
This position would be funded through IRIS. The approval process would take around one month and would require a criminal background check. The hourly pay for this position is $15.75. Hours per week can be discussed if interested.
Principals only. Recruiters, please don't contact this job poster.
OK to highlight this job opening for persons with disabilities.
