In Home Respite Caretaker - Part Time

Accord is looking for employees to join our team as In Home Respite Caretaker in our Family Support Services department. This role is for people we support and based in the Twin Cities.
In-home Respite Staff will provide short-term care due to the absence or need for relief of the primary caregiver normally providing the care. Staff will follow through on all duties as assigned by the primary contact, and attend all participant related meetings as assigned by the primary contact. Additionally, staff will be responsible for annual staff training completion (6-12 hours per year, based on experience). 
Hours: 5 to 25 hours per week and hours are dependent on families needs.
Requirements Matching/Hiring Process: Accord's Family Support Services internally tracks individuals looking for/in need of staff and potential caregiving staff who are interested in working as staff/working more hours. Accord then assesses potential staffing matching through this system. Accord personnel, most often the Senior Director, provides the name and contact information of potential staff to people supported and/or their family members/guardian(s). Then, people supported, their families, and/or their guardian(s) will reach out to the potential staff. When an effective match is made and both parties agree to move forward with the potential caregiving staff to act as staff, Accord will then assign the caregiving staff to the person supported, train and hire the caregiving staff (when applicable), and get the caregiving staff set up in Accord's timesheet system to begin employment with the person supported. Note: caregiving staff must be able to pass a DHS background check to be eligible for employment. 
You must have a minimum of a high school degree or GED (or relevant/equal education).
Benefits This position pays $19-21.82 per hour based on education, experience, and roles interested.
