About The Position

East Bay Innovations Supported Living Services (SLS) Community Living Assistant (CLA, Part-Time) About Our Organization: Established in 1994, East Bay Innovations (EBI) is a nonprofit human services organization that supports people with developmental disabilities, such as intellectual disabilities, autism, and cerebral palsy. Our person-centered services support people to live in their own homes, make choices about how they live, work in jobs of their choosing, and enjoy being part of their communities. We seek to further the human rights and empowerment of people with disabilities, and hire people who care about social justice and want to make a difference in the lives of others. EBI has been named a winner of San Francisco Chronicle’s Top Workplaces Award for 2023, 2024, and 2025! What does a Community Living Assistant do? You would provide 1:1 support to adults with developmental disabilities in their home and in their community! East Bay Innovations supports clients throughout Alameda County. We provide support to a diverse age range of adults with various support needs. Your goal would be to provide respectful, personal, and motivating services that enable our clients to participate in all aspects of their community, and lead meaningful lives centered around independence and empowerment. We know COVID is still a real thing in our world. Our program has made some changes and modifications during the Shelter In Place. We are starting to slowly go back out in the community.
