Respite Provider

Who we are:

Community Partners is dedicated to providing quality developmental and mental health services to meet the needs of families and individuals in Strafford County. We offer comprehensive mental health care, individualized services for persons with developmental disabilities, and family education and support services. If this resonates with you and sounds like something you’d like to be a part of, we want to hear from you!

The Role:

Respite Providers are essential in giving families and caregivers a much-needed break while providing clients opportunities to engage in new or different activities with others.

This is not a standard full-time or part-time position, as hours will vary based on individual family needs. The schedule can range from 5 to 15 hours per week, and we are seeking someone who can make a positive impact regardless of the hours.

Respite care is typically provided in the family’s home, where the client is familiar and comfortable. If you enjoy spending time with people, supporting families, having fun, and bringing joy and relaxation to others in your community, please apply today!
