About the Role
Schedule: Around 12pm to 7pm, Monday-Friday (flexible on days and times during the week), and strong need for full days on the weekends (also flexible on timeframe for weekends)
This 16-year-old client (they/them) needs someone to give support as needed with regulation through some emotional states that can result in outbursts of anger and anxiety. They're very into history and will talk at length with DSPs about obscure topics, some of which make other people uncomfortable (misplaced sense of humor), but they can adjust when the DSP says they aren't comfortable with certain topics. The family is flexible on scheduling depending on the DSP's availability. They want a provider who has good chemistry with the client. DSP needs to be vaccinated. Currently, this client is home schooling due to voice problems, but they plan to return to school once healed, which should be around March 1 at the earliest. Once in school, DSP shifts start at 2:30.
