The holidays are almost here. Make this season count.

Start a new job before the holidays, get paid daily, and earn money for gifts, travel, and holiday fun, all while doing work that truly matters. Start now and keep growing with us long after the holidays.

Are you the calm one when things get tense? Join Sevita and help people with developmental disabilities and complex behavioral needs feel safe, build trust, and live more independent, connected lives. This role is for someone who stays steady, follows a plan, and sees progress where others see a hard day.

Why You'll Love It Here

• Pay on Demand: get paid daily
• Paid training and certification: we give you the tools and training to succeed
• Comprehensive benefits for full-time team members working 32+ hours, including medical, dental, vision, and a 401(k) with up to 3% company match
• Paid time off plus holiday pay
• Room to grow into leadership roles
• $500 referral bonus for every eligible hire you refer
• Supportive supervisors who care about the people we support and about you

What You'll Do

• Support people with complex behavioral needs, following each person's support plan closely and consistently
• Stay calm and respond with patience when situations escalate, helping people feel safe and regain control
• Notice what triggers stress for each person and what helps them succeed, and share it with your team
• Help people work toward goals like budgeting, exercise, and healthy eating
• Assist with personal care, including hygiene, with dignity and respect
• Give medications safely once you're certified
• Document behaviors, progress, and daily care accurately

What We're Looking For

• At least 18 years old
• High school diploma or GED (or 5 years of documented caregiving experience)
• A valid driver's license with at least 1 year of driving history and no restrictions, plus access to a registered, insured vehicle
• Ability to complete required background checks
• No experience required. If you're patient, steady under pressure, and treat others with dignity and respect, we'll train you for the role
• Experience as a Registered Behavior Technician (RBT) is a plus, as is experience in behavioral health, human services, or direct care
• Dependable and consistent, because routine and trust matter most to the people you support
