Specialized Home Provider - Ellsworth, KS - Mosaic : Job Details

For more than 40 years, Mosaic has provided improved quality of life, greater stability and increased community access for people with disabilities with at-home services.

We have a male client that enjoys going for walks and is looking for an older male provider who shares his love for spending time in the garage or shop. His perfect match is someone who engages but also gives him space when he needs it. He would benefit from a home that's calm and quiet, where all family members are at least close to adult age.

As an Independent Contractor, your primary responsibility is to maintain a safe and healthy home environment for the individual supported.

Caring for individuals is more than just helping people with their daily activities. It is assisting in cultivating life skills and fostering independence.

As an Independent Contractor, our organization will assist you with identifying an individual that is welcomed into your home and best fits your family dynamic.

• Provide support for tasks such as cooking, cleaning, laundry, budgeting, decision making, etc.
