About The Position

SEEC is a progressive nonprofit agency providing a wide range of community supports to help people with developmental disabilities live the lives they choose. Supports are provided solely in the community and are directed by the interests, needs, and aspirations of each person. The Personal Supports teams provides both at-home and community supports for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities during morning, mid-day, and evening hours. We focus on each person’s individual goal, gifts, and areas of interest as we customize schedules to support people within their communities every day. The person supported enjoys getting out into the community, staying active, and participating in activities that are meaningful to them. Swimming is one of their favorite activities, and they enjoy spending time in the water. They are working toward becoming more confident and independent while swimming and would benefit from someone who can encourage and support them in reaching their goals.
