Full Job Description

ABOUT THE SCHOOL:

Located in the heart of Oakland, Western Pennsylvania School for Blind Children is a one-of-a-kind educational experience committed to empowering our students to realize their full potential. The School also provides vital early intervention and outreach services to visually impaired students, with or without additional challenges, throughout western Pennsylvania. Founded in 1887, our School is best equipped to care for and educate students with visual impairments. As a private institution chartered by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, the School educates approximately 200 enrolled students from 80-85 school districts within western Pennsylvania.

We are excited to open our brand new Respite Program located at Neville Street near the WPSBC campus. Neville House is an innovative adult services and respite program designed to provide meaningful opportunities, respite services, community engagement, and enhanced supports for adults with blindness, visual impairments, and additional disabilities. Staff are expected to provide compassionate, person-centered support that promotes independence, dignity, inclusion, lifelong learning, and quality of life.

Unlike a school-based setting, Neville House operates as a respite and adult services environment where staff support participants in daily living, recreation, community participation, relationship-building, and independent living experiences across a variety of shifts, including evenings, weekends, overnights, and holidays.

POSITION SUMMARY:

The Respite Aide serves as a primary support person for adults participating in respite services at Neville House. The Respite Aide helps create a safe, welcoming, and engaging home-like environment where participants can enjoy meaningful experiences, develop independence, build social connections, and participate fully in community life. This position provides direct support with daily living activities, personal care, recreation, community engagement, and independent living skills while ensuring participant health, safety, dignity, and well-being. The Respite Aide plays a critical role in providing high-quality respite services that offer participants enriching experiences and provide families and caregivers with confidence and peace of mind. Working collaboratively with nursing staff, supervisors, families, and other team members, the Respite Aide promotes a person-centered approach that respects individual preferences, strengths, goals, and choices.

FLSA Status: Non-Exempt

Compensation: $20-22/hr depending on education

Working Schedule: The program will operate 365 days per year (holidays included). There will be different shifts available for a total of 5 openings!
