    What you need to get started.

    Most roles share the same baseline. Role specific requirements are listed on each position.

    • Experience

      1 or more years of paid experience supporting adults with disabilities for most roles.

    • Clearances

      Live Scan background check and TB test. CPR and First Aid for personal care and fitness roles.

    • Transportation

      A valid California driver license and reliable vehicle for community based roles.

    • Availability

      A consistent weekly schedule you can hold for the length of a match, plus a smartphone for documentation.

    Age 18 or older. Professional references are requested for every role.

    Flexible doesn't mean casual.

    bttr offers part time work with real flexibility. In return, we expect professional quality: the people we support, their families, and your team count on it.

    • Own your work

    Depending on your role and participant, you may help with everyday goals that build greater independence.

      Self advocacy, relationships, and everyday communication.

    Every participant is different. You will not do all of these things with everyone.

    People people do well here.

    You do not need to fit one personality type.

    But you do need to connect with people, communicate professionally, keep your commitments, respect individual choices, use technology comfortably, complete documentation, and take ownership of your work.

    We hire experienced professionals and we take pride in the quality of every match. Families and regional centers trust bttr because the people who represent us do the work well, consistently.
