Job Description

Residential Counselor II Floater – CT (or “Floater”) provides direct support to people with behavioral conditions, as well as intellectual and developmental disabilities in a small group residential setting or an individual living arrangement. He or she works together with the people we serve, their families, friends, employers, and other support staff to transform their lives by either building independence skills or increasing each person’s quality of life.

He or she has a range of duties include administrating medication under the Medication Administration Plan (MAC), implementing treatment plans, and assisting people with activities of daily living, such as household chores and cooking. He or she also strengthen residents’ connection to their community by providing transportation on outings such as shopping and doctor’s appointments.

Unlike other Residential Counselors, a Floater is specifically assigned by the Senior Program Director or Director of Service to those programs that need shift coverage based on leaves of absence or suspensions. As an essential component of his or her job, the Floater must be able and willing to move from program to program in various geographic areas, as directed to meet variable staffing needs. He or she integrates into the program, picking up duties and tasks quickly and seamlessly.
