JOIN OUR TEAM
We're looking for people who have wide-open hearts and who want to help members of the community find peace in their homes. Many of our clients have some kind of mental health experience or physical impairment that causes them to struggle with daily tasks like folding laundry, sorting mail, washing dishes, emptying litter boxes, taking the trash out, etc.
Sometimes clients have a hard time letting go of items that cause them stress because…
-
"What if I need this someday?"
-
Or, "My mom bought this for my child and she'll ask about it next time she's here."
-
Or, "I have a hard time looking at my things that are from before my transition."
​
You need to be able to do not only the physical labor part of hauling, scrubbing, sorting, and sweeping, but also do the heart labor of listening, being empathetic, and providing judgement-free support.
Job Requirements:
-
You must live in the the Metro-Richmond area
-
You will be expected to treat all clients and staff with the same level of kindness and care regardless of sex, sexual orientation, race, gender identity, age, and level of health and ability
-
You must work in a mask if a client requests it
-
You must attend a mandatory all-team meeting every 4 weeks on Sundays from 1-2:30pm
-
You must be able to fulfill the physical requirements of this job, which include lifting up to 50 lbs on your own, frequent bending and stretching, rearranging furniture with assistance, and in rare cases - working using a headlamp and working in temperatures between 50-80 degrees (depending on the client's access to public utilities)
-
You must have reliable transportation
-
You must be willing to travel to Ashland, Mechanicsville, Richmond City, Henrico County, Short Pump/Glen Allen, North Chesterfield and Chesterfield for work
-
You must have a smart phone to communicate with the team and log your hours on the go
-
You must take client donations to Diversity Thrift or other local, non-religious thrift store (never Goodwill or Salvation Army)
-
You must be willing to adapt to changes in plan during appointments
-
You must be willing to work in homes that currently have or have previously had pest activity. (For example: fruit flies, roaches, mice. We do not serve people with active infestations of pests that feed on humans, such as fleas or bed bugs.)
-
Follow instructions
-
Use critical thinking skills to help clients formulate a plan if instructions are unclear (IE: "I just don't know where to start!")
-
Keep track of PPE and cleaning supplies and request a restock when necessary
​
​The pay is $17 an hour during an initial probation period of 90 days, and $18 an hour after that (including breaks and drive time between appointments).
Within your first year, you will be trained in Mental Health First Aid and receive a certification. At that point, your pay will go up $1/hr.
Being a small company, we do not have all the fancy benefits options that larger companies have. We believe in being completely transparent about that from the start.
​
Our current additional compensation options and benefits are :
-
All Home Harmony-related mileage over 20 miles per day is reimbursed to you at the rate of $0.67/mile.
-
Half off our group rate for a Seven Hills Family Medicine membership for you + 2 adults of your choosing + up to 3 minors.
-
Discounted self-pay rates for individual therapy sessions with our partners at Phases Therapy.
As we grow, we have big dreams about other benefits and increased pay. It has been hard to be realistic about what we can provide, but we hope this small benefits package will grow as our team does! We recognize that businesses are nothing without the people who show up and work hard every day, and we do our best to honor that.
This position can be hard on your body and your heart, therefore to prevent burnout we are only hiring for up to 20 hours per week at the start.
There is no difference in treatment or benefits between part time and full time workers. It is all the same work - there is no reason to pay anyone less for not working themselves to the bone.
