AIMED is a faith-based agency established in 1998, dedicated to serving God's Kingdom through our work. We are an organization committed to quality, honesty, and ethical support for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities, their families, and our team. Join our dynamic team and contribute to our mission of breaking barriers to independence and providing extraordinary support.
Residential Supervisor is responsible for maintaining a safe, supportive, and therapeutic environment which fosters growth and rehabilitation and facilitates the development of mutual aid/self-help skills among individuals. Staff’s primary role is to provide the appropriate and effective behavioral supports tailored to the needs and desires of each individual to enable each to live as independently as possible. Residential Advisors are expected to recognize when an individual is in a crisis and be able to utilize the appropriate comprehensive crisis management training, psychiatric, medical back up services and/or the crisis team involved with the individual. The Residential Advisors play a critical role in the overall success of our Residential Services and are looked at as “natural role models.”
