Pay is $22.00/hour

NO PRIOR EXPERIENCE OR TRAINING REQUIRED. I am more interested in the type of person you are and whether or not we mesh than lots of prior experience. You will receive on-the-job, paid training if hired.
I do not smoke and prefer a non-smoker.
I am easy-going and personable with a good sense of humour. I'm looking for people who will jive with my personality: liberal, open, honest, good communicators. We would not be a good match if your values are ultraconservative or if you are unable to respect mine. It is my goal for us to develop a safe, productive, and comfortable working relationship.
I can be extremely busy at times and require someone who considers themselves to be energetic and a self-starter.
You must be available to start immediately.
Please note I will be asking every considered applicant for a police background check for working with vulnerable populations.
If you are interested in discussing this position further or applying, please send an up-to-date resume, an indication of shift availability, and cover letter which can also be a bit more on the personal side: I want to know about you. Tell me who you are as a person, your relevant experience (if any) and why you are interested.
