Company Overview
Little Red Wagon is a leading provider of state-funded Supported Living Services for adults with intellectual disabilities in Novato, California. We are dedicated to empowering individuals to live independently and thrive within their communities through compassionate and personalized support.
This is a warm, engaging and fulfilling job. While it is strongly administrative, it is not always office-bound and while the hours can shift and it can be relaxed or hectic at times, it offers a giant opportunity to shine, to contribute your own skills, to go above and beyond and to accomplish a bit of "world saving." You will work in our wonderful office in charming downtown Novato or, as a top executive, as well as in the local field, may choose to work some hours in your own home office, if it feels right. As long as the job gets done in a stellar way, we're good.
The bottom line is that we operate from intense dedication, fun, triumph, insistence on excellence and the highest level of care and respect for the people we support. Our management staff is the best of the best.
