About The Position

The Charles Lea Center is a national leader in supported living services, empowering men and women with disabilities to live independently and pursue lives filled with purpose, dignity, and connection. We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all care. We customize supports and programs around each individual’s unique goals, interests, and dreams. For many of the people we serve, this may be the first time they are living on their own — and we’re honored to walk alongside them on that journey. With the help of innovative technology and compassionate professionals, we provide the right level of support to promote independence, confidence, and growth. As part of our Direct Support Team, you are more than a caregiver — you are a mentor, advocate, teacher, and champion of independence.
