The Scardefield house is a beautiful two-story Victorian located in the historic district of uptown Kingston and is the home of two women and five men. You will find that they all have different interests and hobbies, which include music, bowling, swimming and biking, as well as an occasional casual dinner enjoying some of the local fare. If you enjoy being involved in the community and you have a strong desire to inspire and enrich the lives of others as they pursue their goals and ambitions, you will enjoy working at Scardefield.
A high school diploma or GED is desired. Post-high-school education in Human Services is a definite plus. An acceptable NYS driver's license and basic computer knowledge are a must. An informative, paid new hire orientation is provided in a comfortable learning environment. Training will also include Van Certification, SCIP, First Aid/CPR, and Medication Administration certification.
