Riverside Community Care

Love What You Do!

Residential Counselor

We have a great opportunity available to join our growing, stable, and highly regarded organization, where you can obtain valuable human services experience while making a difference in the lives of others!

We provide person-centered supports for individuals with intellectual or developmental disabilities, autism, or acquired brain injury – helping each person learn daily living skills, build meaningful relationships, and become a valued member of their community.

As a Residential Counselor, you’ll be part of a supportive team that helps individuals:

  • Maintain their physical and emotional health and live safely in the community.
  • Foster relationships with housemates, family members, and neighbors.
  • Develop and practice skills that increase independence, confidence, and self-determination.
  • Participate in community activities, work, and volunteer opportunities that reflect their goals and interests.

Your role combines support, supervision, coaching, and companionship. Every interaction is rooted in respect and appreciation for each individual’s uniqueness. You’ll encourage residents to identify their strengths, explore new opportunities, and actualize their hopes and dreams.

About Our Residences

Our homes are located in welcoming neighborhood settings, each designed to meet the needs of the individuals who live there. Typically, 3–5 people share a home, enjoying private bedrooms and shared living spaces. Residents are encouraged to decorate their rooms and take pride in their home, while staff provide ongoing guidance and support. Employees are available 24/7, with staffing schedules tailored to meet the needs of the individuals served. Every shift offers the chance to build relationships, see progress, and be part of something meaningful.

Flexible shifts available in: North Reading, Reading, Wakefield, Peabody and Stoneham

Pay Rate:

  • $15.97/hourly with MAP certification
  • $15.45/hourly without MAP

  • Flexible Spending Accounts – both medical and dependent care
  • Eleven paid holidays
  • Separate accruals for vacation (increases with tenure), personal, and sick time
  • Tax-deferred 403(b) retirement savings plan with employer match
