Job Description:
Are you looking for an experience filled with joy and
friendship, growth and belonging? Are you someone who values
community, intentional living, and caring for others? L’Arche
Chicago invites you to apply to be a Live-In Assistant , a
caregiving position where you would support adults with
intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) while living with
them in one of our three community homes. At L’Arche, we seek to
create an intentional community of genuine belonging, one that
welcomes difference and celebrates the unique gifts of all people.
As a live-in assistant, you would build relationships with core
members (individuals with IDD) and other assistants through sharing
in daily life — making dinner together, watching television, going
to the gym, or heading up the street for a cup of coffee. Together
with the core members, you would help care for the home, shop for
groceries, and cook meals. You would also be trained to support
core members at doctors’ appointments, with personal care, with
medication administration, with transportation, and with banking
and shopping. Assistants often point to their time with L’Arche as
a time of deep personal transformation, where a lasting commitment
to people with disabilities is formed through real relationships of
mutual support with core members. L’Arche strives to model a vision
of humanity where people with disabilities are at the center. By
answering the call to live in our community, assistants are an
integral part of bringing that vision to life. Come and see what
we’re all about!
