A part-time position consists of developing a workable schedule with the individual in need of support and can be flexible.
Individuals that are well suited to this kind of work should be comfortable with the following expectations and tasks;
-Being a positive influence in a person’s life and assisting a person making responsible choices.
-Ability to work independent of a supervisor in a relaxed environment while maintaining professional boundaries.
-Creating a flexible schedule with their individuals that meets the time constraints of both parties

Regular tasks include assisting an individual with the following: basic budgeting, menu planning, grocery shopping, job applications, mail management, appointment transportation, household organization, and supportive listening. This list is meant to develop a rough expectation and only represents the basics. The full scope of tasks is largely dependent upon the needs and goals of the individual.
A day in the life as a community service worker starts with meeting our individuals, whether it’s at their homes, at work, or at their favorite coffee shop. We then come up with a plan for the day that meets goals they have set, tasks they want to accomplish or appointments they need transportation to. Some days we might be running errands or tackling the pile of papers that need to be organized, other days may look like an adventure at a new park or going out to an UP event meeting with peers. We prepare our individuals to accomplish daily tasks like cooking dinner, having good hygiene, grocery shopping, going to the doctor, and other duties that might just seem like a thing most do without thinking. We encourage, cue, assist and support our individuals to become independent and get into a routine to complete the everyday tasks that life requires us to do.
