Hiring Individuals to Support Adults with Disabilities in a Residential Setting

Start A Unique Work From Home Job in Prince William, VA

Caring for others with heightened needs is a rewarding and meaningful career path. But many caregivers struggle with the stress and overload associated with clinical and educational settings.

Providing support for adults with disabilities from your home has proven over the years to ensure an exceptionally high quality of life for caregivers and the adults in their homes.

Wall Residences’ Residential Care Provider program was introduced over 25 years ago in Virginia to give people with disabilities an alternative to living in an institution.

Now our providers work in Prince William County and all over the state of Virginia to provide structure, safety and companionship to the individuals in their care.

Each residential care provider receives payment and funding to support 1-2 adults with disabilities and/or mental health concerns from their home. Wall Residences provides training and works to match you with individuals whose needs fit your unique skills.

Many provider and resident pairings last for years, allowing the chance to build close bonds and meaningful routines.

How do I apply to be a provider?

Each prospective caregiver should send their resume and letter of interest to Wall Residences’ Admissions Director Alex Jackson by email. Documents can also be faxed to our office at 540-745-5367.

Eager to learn more about this fulfilling and rewarding career? You can attend one of our provider orientation sessions. These are typically available two times a month.

How long will the process take to become a provider?

Providers start off with part-time training that prepares you for working with adults with disabilities full-time. Many new providers continue working their current jobs through parts of the training period. 

Wall Residences is careful and intentional when selecting residents to live in your home. For that reason the timing for a placement is somewhat unpredictable. It is based on when a resident well-suited to your skills begins looking for a new place to live, not immediately when you finish training. 

Every provider will start on a different time frame. However, the process typically takes 3-6 months. 

How can I prepare for an adult with disabilities to live in my home?

Wall Residences is dedicated to making your career transition easy. You can confidently begin working with adults with disabilities thanks to our training and process.

Any prospective provider who has not previously aided individuals with disabilities will get the chance to work as a backup worker for another Prince William County provider or group home. This gives you time to learn our agency policies, procedures and documentation requirements. You will also gain the necessary hands-on experience needed to excel at the job on your own.

Can I transfer my paperwork from another agency or training center?

Yes, you can transfer training paperwork as long as you provide the certificate from the class including the instructor’s signature, date the class was taken, and date when the training expires.

If documents showing previous TB screenings are provided and there has been no disruption in care then this is also transferable.

How do I take required training classes?

Wall Residences offers many of the training courses you need to become an adult caregiver.

You can access our training calendar to locate the upcoming courses you need. Contact the program manager you’re working with or the training department to sign up for your classes.

To start your new job as a residential care provider you will be required to get First Aid and CPR certified. You can complete these certifications through the American Heart Association or Red Cross in Prince William, VA.

How much do residential care providers get paid?

Wall Residences works to provide all of our employees and contractors with a comfortable quality of life. As a residential care provider you will work as an independent contractor.

Payment will be based on your experience and can increase over time. Your payment will also be dependent on the Support Intensity Scale of the adult you’re caring for.

How can I get started as a caregiver?

Our orientation documents make the application process easy. There you’ll find more about how to apply and the goals of our program. You can also learn about how you’ll get licensed to work as a contractor with Wall Residences.

Each qualified applicant will be asked for a home visit, resume, references, background checks, emergency plans and established backup workers.
