Could You Be the One?  

At ARCO, our team isn’t just part of the mission—they are the mission. Every day, our employees bring heart, purpose, and a whole lot of joy to the individuals and families we serve. They’re the champions behind the scenes, the cheerleaders in the community, and the reason our programs shine.

Because so much of our impact happens person-to-person, the majority of our services rely on dedicated Direct Support Workers. These are the everyday heroes who help individuals with developmental disabilities live fuller, more independent lives. From time to time, we also have openings in office roles, management, and other support positions.

Imagine waking up each day knowing that your work will make a difference in someone’s life. Working with adults with developmental disabilities is not just a job; it’s a chance to be a part of something meaningful. You’ll help individuals uncover their strengths, face challenges, and celebrate their victories big and small. Each day offers a new opportunity to connect, support, and encourage them on their unique journeys.

Sure, it won’t always be easy. But think about the moments when you see someone achieve a goal they thought was out of reach or when you see them laughing with friends at an event in the community. Those moments are rewarding and remind you why you chose this path. You’ll be there to guide them through life’s ups and downs, and in the process, you’ll find growth, too.

Do you need experience? No, ARCO provides 16 hours of upfront training to help you learn the basics and then you will receive participant-specific training to learn details about the important service you will be providing. You’re not alone in the process; skilled Team Managers and a Staff Development Manager help you navigate your new profession.
