A job that makes a difference!
Caregivers make a big difference in the lives of people with disabilities, making it possible for them to live independently in their homes and communities. By working for a participant, caregivers also support the other nonprofit Independent Living services MERIL and Life Unlimited provide!
We accept applications for two types of caregivers: CDS attendants and In-Home PCAs. There is no experience necessary and the hours are flexible. If you are responsible and have a passion for helping people with disabilities, fill out an application in our office for one or both of these caregiver positions. We look forward to receiving your application!
CDS Attendants
In the Consumer Directed Services (CDS) program, people with disabilities hire caregivers to help them with personal care tasks, such as cooking, cleaning, shopping, and bathing. The CDS participant may hire someone they know—such as a friend or relative—to be their attendant, or they can choose an attendant from a list of caregivers who are looking for employment. MERIL and Life Unlimited keep an updated list of caregivers that participants can choose from.
If you are interested in being added to this list, please fill out an application in our office. You must be at least 18 years old and able to pass a background check (or obtain a Good Cause Waiver). CDS participants are looking to hire attendants in all nine counties in Northwest Missouri.
