VASIA of Johnson and Shelby Counties is seeking contract guardians to help people requiring assistance with decisions due to their health issues — such as dementia, mental illness or a traumatic brain injury.
The position is considered an independent contractor with specific duties requiring approximately 8-10 hours per month. Contract guardians are usually able to set their hours.
Responsibilities generally include:
- Connecting clients with services that help them maintain independence while assuring health and safety.
- Examining their environment to ensure their living situation is safe. This evaluation does not necessarily mean a change to a residential facility but may mean the assistance of a service provider.
- Eliciting the assistance of friends and neighbors to provide safety factors to assist the person.
The contractors shall be compensated at $100 per case, per month, with a minimum of three cases. For clerical duties, the contractors will be compensated at $20 per hour.
Interested persons should contact Lauren Rynerson, Executive Director.
