This ‘n’ That

Working in a group home is a job that is avoided by many because of it’s challenges. For someone entering the workforce with limited skills and education, it can be a great entry level job. There is paid training and it is a rewarding experience to make a difference. In Tucson, Arizona there are several companies that can be contacted to find a job. Most companies will require a clean driving record and a background check because there are vulnerable residents that need to be kept safe. Some Arizona group home providers can be found here.

Jan’s Group Home Support has a blog that is dedicated to provide resources for those who work in group homes. There is information for both managers and support staff.

Some of the categories of posts include:

• Support staff
• Recreation
• Household tips
• Cultural diversity
• Activities
• Manager support
• Health

It is a great place to learn more about what it is really like to work in a group home as support staff or as a manager.

After being hacked into awhile back, I never got back into working on this blog.  Towards the end of last summer, I had computer problems and had to get another one. Next was working two jobs full time. Well, I have just gotten back into working on my other blogs and am now ready to dedicate some time to this blog! My jobs will change to one full time and one part-time. The one with part-time hours will have some flex hours so that will allow me a day off every week!
