Schedule & Compensation • $30/hour, • 5–10 hours per week to start, with potential for additional hours over time based on availability, fit, and program needs, • Flexible schedule with generally set weekly hours, • Availability needed between 9:00 am – 8:00 pm, including some evenings and weekends, • Occasional shift changes or substitutions may be required, • Start date flexible, • This is a long-term role with opportunities for increased responsibility and expanded hours for the right candidate. Location • Washington Heights / Inwood (near the A train at 181st Street), • Local applicants strongly preferred; long commutes are not ideal for this role Why This Role Matters This is a collaborative, human-centered position focused on helping a gifted but challenged individual build a meaningful, independent life.
