We have a wonderful new opportunity for anyone seeking employment. We have recently redefined our supervisory position from the Program Manager and Program Coordinator to Shift Lead. Each apartment will have two Shift Leads and the primary reason we have made this organizational change is to have the position be more focused on overseeing and assisting with the care of the residents. The pay rate will be $23.00 per hours.

Examples of duties that are no longer associated with the role:
• Setting up medical, dental, or other health care appointments.
• Assisting with the hiring process
• Reviewing timecards
• Planning department meetings and in-services
• Sending materials to IDT team

Examples of duties that remain the same:
• Oversee care of residents
• Implements programs and trains staff on new programs
• Oversees orientation and training of new staff in their living unit
• Oversees and ensures appropriate charting and data collection
• Be on call (when assigned) and ensure apartments have appropriate coverage
• Assists with emergency and crisis situations
• Plan community outings for residents

We are currently opening this position up to any former employees who may be interested in the role. A 4 year diploma is preferred but no longer required for the position. If you are interested feel free to reach out to us by calling (763)560-5330 or emailing us at humanresources@afpwa.org

We are a Group Home based in Brooklyn Park, called Alternatives for People with Autism, and we currently have a vacancy for a new resident! We provide 24-hour support to our residents and serve adults who have been diagnosed with Autism and other cognitive impairments. We have a long-standing tradition of excellent services dating back to 1982, when we first opened our doors. While we can admit an adult from anywhere within the state of Minnesota, we would love to find a local family, from Brooklyn Park and surrounding areas, that we could help support. If you are seeking residential services for your son or daughter, please do not hesitate to contact our Director Mike Amon. You can call him at (763) 560-5330 during our typical business hours, 9 am – 5 pm, or email him any time at mamon@afpwa.org. He is also available to talk or meet with families to discuss future needs.
