Full-Time/Regular

Would you like to work from home while making a difference in someone's life?
Do you have an extra room in your home?
Are you willing to provide care, a social and engaging life for a person with cognitive disabilities?

Our Shared Living program matches adults with developmental disabilities with welcoming individuals or families in their community for long‑term, in‑home placement. The goal is to have the provider family integrate the individual into their home and community life, while Riverside supports both the individual and the provider family.

We are committed to the philosophy that individuals with developmental disabilities thrive when they can live in a family home. Over time, new family members build meaningful relationships and learn to be independent, active members of their community. This model enriches the lives of all involved.

The individual will live in your home and need assistance with:

• Meal preparation
• Transportation to medical appointments
• Medication administration
• Providing a social and engaging life

Past experience is helpful but not required; training and ongoing support will be provided.

We have opportunities in the following locations:

• Haverhill
• Methuen
• North Andover
• Andover
• Lawrence
• Newburyport

Pay Rate: This is a stipend‑based arrangement determined by the Massachusetts Department of Developmental Services (DDS) based on the level of need of the individual supported. Stipend amounts vary accordingly.

• The benefits of becoming a Provider include having someone become an integral part of your family and community.
