Job Description

New Peak Direct Care is a new agency backed by nearly 20 years of experience in this field. We're a close-knit team that invests in the people who work here, because when we grow as individuals, we show up better for the people we support, helping them discover new possibilities. What You'll Do You'll work one-on-one with individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities, in their homes and out in the community. That means going where their life takes them. A walk around the park on Saturday. A doctor's appointment on Tuesday. A therapy appointment on Thursday. Errands with family on Friday. Support with daily living like bathing, dressing, meals, hygiene is part of the job for many clients. Some clients also have challenging behaviors, and you'll be trained on how to respond calmly and safely. You follow the individual, learn their world, and become someone they and their family can count on. Every client is different. We'll make sure you're prepared before your first shift. Pay & Schedule $21-23/hr based on experience
Part-time:
15-30 hours/week Shifts typically run 4 to 6 hours, daytime and late afternoon, weekdays and weekends What We Offer Paid training Mileage reimbursement Sick pay Time Growth from within as we build the team Direct mentorship from leadership Flexible scheduling around school or other jobs Who This Is For This work isn't for everyone. If you're active, reliable, steady under pressure, and naturally step into a mentor role — this fits. Good fit if you have a background in psychology, social work, education, sports, or any area where you've been someone's steady person: a coach, mentor, nanny, teammate. Bring your own interests and hobbies with you. Whether it's music, sports, or art, clients connect with people who have something real to share. Be open to learning new interests from them too. Connection goes both ways. Prior experience working with development disabilities populations is a plus, not a requirement. We build long-term, stable relationships between clients and DSPs - we're looking for candidates who want that same commitment and consistency. Requirements Valid CA Driver's License + proof of auto insurance Clear Live Scan background check and TB test CPR/First Aid certification (can apply without, we will help you get it before start date) High school diploma or equivalent Authorized to work in the United States Ability to lift up to 25 lbs and stay active during shifts Bilingual a plus (Spanish, Korean, Vietnamese, Chinese, Tagolog, Armenian, Farsi, Russian) Comfortable with behavioral support situations (training provided) New Peak Direct Care is an equal opportunity employer.
