Newly opened group home has provided opportunity for employment in both Pensacola and Milton Florida. For the Milton location, we are looking for someone who would be interested in being a "live-in" staff member Monday-Friday with weekends off. The pay starts at $68,640 a year. The staff member would get paid a biweekly rate of $2,640. In the Pensacola location, we are looking for someone WEEKENDS ONLY. This individual would come in Friday night and leave Monday morning. Their pay will be $1,504.80 bi-weekly. Again, this pay is just working the weekend schedule. We are looking for experienced individuals only who have a strong background in working with people with Intellectual Disabilities. We are also looking for someone who has done Live-in care giving before. If you do not meet those two qualifications, no need to apply as you would not meet requirements needed for employment. In both locations, live-in staff would be responsible for taking care of five (5) male residents. All residents are mobile and can ambulate themselves. All residents leave during the day to go to a day program and return later in the afternoon. Some of these residents can exhibit behaviors such as cussing, yelling, etc when upset.
