Q: I've never worked with developmentally or behaviorally challenged individuals before. How would your agency help me?
A: The majority of our clients are high-functioning individuals who need you to assist them with life skills such as preparing meals, grocery shopping, and community events. Access provides training before you go out to a client site. Additionally, you will job shadow with another experienced staff member until you feel comfortable. Furthermore, we provide all of our employees with CPR, 1st Aid, Med. Administration, and Therapeutic Intervention training. And, all of our new employees are assigned a mentor who provides support during your first three months.
Q: Do I have to work overnight, how are those shifts paid, and do I have to stay awake all night?
A: Most of our adult client sites include an eight-hour overnight shift. The clients retire for the night at about 10:00. You would have your own bedroom and would be paid a stipend for the eight-hour overnight. Sites that require you to stay awake or be available for more than one client will typically pay the hourly rate instead of the stipend. Child client sites are typically four-hour shifts in the client's home and do not require any overnight time.
Q: Where are the client sites located?
A: Most of our client sites are in Moorhead.
Q: Are the clients male or female, and how old are they?
A: Our clients' ages range from about two years old to 60 years old, and we serve both males and females.
