Professional Growth
Habilitation work presents many kind of challenges: creative, intellectual,
social, emotional, psychological, physical, medical, financial and technical.
You may develop your ability to negotiate, organize, motivate, delegate,
coordinate and account.
It all contributes to can-do managerial style backed by practical skills, assets
that will take you places within NCC and anywhere else.
Flexibility
You can vary your number of working hours and your shift frequently.
As in any household, the needs of our residents are continuous
but diverse; they
vary from house to house, from time to time, and from one individual
to another.
Because NCC currently serves eleven group homes and a growing
number of persons in supported living, you also can choose to
work at
any of many
locations. Respect
High-quality service begins with respect for your
residents. In return, you’ll
earn their respect for your authority, responsibility, and competence. You’ll
earn the respect of your supervisors at NCC too.

Competitive Compensation
NCC’s wage scale and benefits are competitive
with those of similar positions in our industry. You might find
a job that will offer a larger paycheck but it’s unlikely
that you’ll find one with greater rewards. Satisfaction
Our employees work in our resident’s real
lives, these it really matters and the rewards are as varied as
those of life itself.
Beyond assisting with residents’ needs, you’ll share in their joys.
They find joy in so many everyday things --- walks in the park, sports, birthday
celebrations, shopping trips, restaurant dinners, earning pay for their work
in sheltered workshops.
In our group homes, you’ll help disabled people to develop lives of their
own. You’ll be more than a caregiver, you’ll serve as a role model,
social guide, and mentor.
In supported living, you’ll be even more of a role model, coaching people
who may be living on their own for the first time --- and enjoying the freedom
and challenge.
A very rewarding aspect of your work at NCC will be your co-workers. You’ll
work with people who –like you – have big hearts and fine characters.

A Big Heart
In today’s world, that isn’t the first requirement
for very many jobs, but at Northeast Care Center, Inc. (NCC), it
is. We need caregivers ---
habilitation assistants, nurses, therapists, cooks and housekeepers --- who find
fulfillment in nurturing those who need it most. These are people who see themselves
changing a life, not just changing the linen.
These are rare, special people. In fact, often we hire new employees who were
referred to us by our previous employees (bird of a feather…). But we appreciate
special people wherever we find them.
Skill In Residential Care
Habilitation is
more them daily services --- meals, showers, housework, laundry
and medications --- but it’s vital that all of those things
be dome well. Then you’ve cleared the way for the creative
work. |
A Strong Character
Patience, wisdom, fairness maturity, all those
noble attributes may be fully exercised when you serve a household
of mentally and developmentally disabled adults. It becomes easier
as you become acquainted with one another and become a family. |
