Why Join Us?
A Place of Grace, Inc. has been serving adults with developmental disabilities in Solano County since 2002 and in San Diego since 2010. With over 20 years of impact in the community and plans for 50% growth in the coming year, we are investing in compassionate, skilled professionals who want to grow their careers while making a lasting difference.

This is not just another caregiving role; its the opportunity to work in a supportive, structured residential environment where your work truly transforms lives.

What Makes Us Different
At A Place of Grace, we believe in more than just filling shifts; we build lasting relationships. As a DSP, youll work with a consistent team of staff and residents in one home, not constantly rotating between locations. This allows you to truly get to know your clients, support their progress, and celebrate their growth over time.

Our approach is personal, not corporate. We invest in your success just as much as we invest in the success of those we serve. Here, youre not just coming to work; youre helping create a home.

We welcome motivated and compassionate candidates of all experience levels. If youre new to the field, no problem, our experienced team will train you. Together, we focus on helping residents build independence, access their community, lead healthy lives, and develop their daily living skills.
